How to make it
- Sauté onion and carrots in butter.
- Add the 1/2 cup butter and flour to the sauteed onions and carrots. Cooking over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Slowly add in the chicken stock and whisk again to combine. Simmer contents covered (stirring occasionally) for 20 minutes on medium heat.
- Add the broccoli, carrots and the sauteed onions, into the pot. Stir, add the milk and half & half. Cook covered over low heat 20-25 minutes but do not bring to a boil. This may cause the milk to curdle.
- Add salt, pepper & nutmeg. Note: you can purée half of your soup in a blender or with a handheld immersion blender if you choose however it isn't a requirement.
- Continue to cook the soup on low heat and slowly add the grated cheese a handful at a time and stir to avoid clumps. Once all the cheese has been added is melted, remove from heat, and serve immediately.
- Suggestion: serve with crusty bread or in a bread bowl.
- Refrigerate leftovers after they have cooled and store in a airtight container up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
