4. Broccoli cheddar soup
This classic soup absolutely has to be in your recipe book! It’s so satisfying and filling! The ingredients include butter, diced onion, flour, heavy whipping cream, chicken or beef broth, broccoli florets, chopped carrots, grated cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. In a large pot, melt the potter over medium heat. Add in the onion and saute until it becomes translucent. Stir in the flour and continue cooking for about a minute.
Slowly whisk in the broth and cream, making sure to continuously whish so it becomes smooth. Add in the broccoli and carrots. Bring the soup to a simmer, cover, reduce heat, and let it simmer until the broccoli and carrots are tender – about 20 minutes. Blend the soup so that it becomes nice and smooth. Add in the cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper, return the soup to the pot to warm on medium low heat.
