Description

This broccoli cheddar soup recipe is so satisfying! It’s loaded with fresh broccoli, and creamy thanks to a potato and cheddar cheese (no cream, no flour!). Recipe yields about 10 cups (quite a bit) and is easily halved.

Ingredient:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 medium yellow onions, coarsely chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (reduce or omit if sensitive to spice)
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, divided, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 pounds broccoli with stalks (3 large or 4 medium)
  • 1 large (about 12 ounces) russet potato, peeled and cut into 1 to 2-inch chunks
  • 6 cups water
  • 4 to 8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese, depending on your mood
  • Thinly sliced chives or green onions, for garnish (optional)
