Do you know of a good recipe for this soup? No Chicken stock please :)Recipe for Broccoli Cheddar Soup?
don't rule out all recipes with chicken stock. you can easily use vegetable stock instead.





1 tablespoon butter, melted


1/2 medium onion, chopped


1/4 cup melted butter


1/4 cup flour


2 cups half-and-half


2 cups vegetable stock or bouillon


1/2 pound fresh broccoli


1 cup carrots, julienned


salt and pepper to taste


1/4 teaspoon nutmeg


8 ounces grated sharp cheddar





Saute onion in butter. Set aside. Cook melted butter and flour using a whisk over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir constantly and slowly add the half-and-half (this is called making a roux). Add the chicken stock whisking all the time. Simmer for 20 minutes.





Add the broccoli, carrots and onions. Cook over low heat until the veggies are tender for 20-25 minutes. Add salt and pepper. The soup should be thickened by now. Pour in batches into blender and puree. Return to pot over low heat and add the grated cheese; stir until well blended. Stir in the nutmeg and serve.








Recipe for Broccoli Cheddar Soup?
I usually eye ball everything. So 4-5 potatoes and 1/2-1 onion, peel and chop both, place in boiling water just to cover and cook till almost mashing consistency but not quite. Drain about 1/2 the water off. Add about 2 cups frozen broccoli salt and pepper and some veggi broth so liquid just covers everything, (I always add chicken broth but veggi would work as well I'm sure) and continue to cook on a low simmer for a few minutes until broccoli is cooked almost. I also add a few shakes of garlic powder but you could also do chopped garlic. When broccoli is cooked I turn to low add about 1-2 tbs butter and about 1/4-1/2 cup milk, half and half, or heavy whipping cream. Heat through. If you like you can also add Cheddar or Colby jack cheese for a little extra flavor. You can also puree some or all of it in either a blender or immersion blender . Enjoy!!
