Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter and cook the onion until soft.
  2. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute to form a roux.
  3. Whisk in the broth and milk, then add the broccoli.
  4. Simmer for 15 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
  5. Stir in the cheddar until melted and season with salt.
  6. Blend partially if you want a smoother texture.

Notes

Add the cheese off the heat so it stays silky and doesn't clump.
