Garden Broccoli Cheddar Soup in Sourdough Bread Bowls

You know that feeling when it’s chilly outside, the kind of day that practically begs for fuzzy socks, a cozy blanket, and something warm and cheesy to eat? That’s the day you make garden broccoli cheddar soup.

Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add garlic, smoked paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper, and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

4 tbsp Butter

1 Onion

4 cloves Garlic

1 tsp Smoked paprika

1/2 tsp Garlic powder

1 pinch Cayenne pepper

Step 2

Add flour and cook, stirring frequently, for a minute or two, until lightly golden with no raw floury bits remaining.

1/4 cup All-purpose flour

Step 3

Stir in vegetable stock and half-and-half, then increase heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and add broccoli and carrots. Partially cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until broccoli and carrots are tender.

2 cups Vegetable stock

2 cups Half and half

3 cups Broccoli florets and tender stems

2 Carrots

Step 4

Take the pot off the heat and slowly stir in the shredded cheese, one handful at a time, until fully melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning and salt as needed. Serve with my sourdough bread bowls topped with more cheddar cheese for the perfect cool-weather comfort meal.

Notes

Add cauliflower or potatoes for extra heartiness. Want more kick? Add more of that pepper. If you’re a fan of silky soups, use an immersion blender to puree everything before adding the cheese. Serve with a simple green salad or roasted veggies for a complete meal. Brush the inside of the bread bowls with melted butter and toast them in the oven for a few minutes to make them sturdier and add a nice crunch.
