How to Make Broccoli Cheese Soup For The Soul
- Chop broccoli and celery. (5 minutes prep)
- In a large pot, combine broth, broccoli, and celery. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until broccoli is tender-crisp. Stir occasionally.
- While broccoli simmers, melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
- Carefully transfer the cooked broccoli mixture (reserve some for garnish if desired) to a blender and puree until smooth. *Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot*.
- Return the pureed broccoli to the saucepan with the milk mixture.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and creamy.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra broccoli florets or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
