Broccoli Cheddar Soup


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 lb. fresh broccoli (about 1 cup),finely chopped
  • 1 cup carrot, julienned
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 8 ounces white cheddar, grated
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Saute the onion in 1 tablespoon melted butter and set aside. In a large pot, whisk together the melted butter and flour over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Slowly whisk in the half and half and chicken broth. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
  3. Add the broccoli, carrots, and onions. Let them simmer on medium low for about 25 minutes until the broccoli and carrots are tender.
  4. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper and cheddar cheese. Let the cheese melt and then serve. For a smooth soup, puree it using a stick blender. (I did not do this for mine as I prefer the chunks.)
