There are lots of cheddar soup recipes on the internet, but this one is by far the best one tried by the Youtube channel “Kristin at Mini Slice of the farm.”
In the caption, it says it tastes exactly like Panera’s.
Let’s jump right into this deliciousness.
The ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1 minced Garlic Clove
- 1 Diced Onion
- 1/2 cup Flour
- 4 cups Chicken Broth
- 24 oz Shredded Cheese
- 1 quart half and a half (or 2 cups milk + 2 cups Heavy cream)
- 3 carrots, grated
- 1 lb of Broccoli florets, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A pinch (less than 1/8th teaspoon) of cayenne
It begins with delicious butter.
To start, put your pot on medium heat. Add butter and let it melt.
While the butter is still melting, pour in the diced onion and saute for 10 minutes or until it gets translucent.
Now add salt, pepper, and cayenne and stir to incorporate them into the mix.
Add the minced garlic and stir for a few seconds then pour in the grated carrots slowly.
Saute them for about 5 minutes.
Then add the flour, and spread it evenly so that you can mix it easily. Let it cook for about a minute while stirring.
Then add the chicken stock and stir a few times before adding the chopped broccoli.
Stir continuously for five minutes at least so all the ingredients are mixed properly.
Now comes the cream.
We will then add the Half-and-Half into the pot and slowly stir until all are properly mixed.
Let it simmer for about a minute or two then add the cheddar cheese.
Turn off the heat.
Before adding the cheese, turn off the heat but keep the pot on the stove.
Pour in the cheese and stir gently until all the cheese will melt from the residual heat of the pot, the stove, and the soup itself.
Stir continuously making sure that all the ingredients are mixed and incorporated.
We now have our Broccoli Cheddar Soup.
You can have this for a quick dinner or during cold weather.
It’s best served hot with your favorite beverage on the side.
