Prep time: 15 minutesCook time: 30 minutesServes: 4
Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Salt and pepper to taste

3. Add the broccoli florets and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer until the broccoli is tender, about 15 minutes.
4. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer in batches to a blender and puree.
5. Return the soup to the pot (if using a blender) and stir in the heavy cream and grated cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.
6. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Serve hot.
Storage
Let the soup cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating
