  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

  • Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3–4 minutes until softened.

  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  • Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir continuously for about 1 minute to create a light roux.

  • Gradually pour in the broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

  • Add the diced potatoes, carrots, and broccoli to the pot.

  • Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  • Stir in the milk or half-and-half and heat gently.

  • Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until completely melted and smooth.

  • Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then serve warm.

Notes

For a thicker soup, blend a portion of the soup using an immersion blender before adding the cheese.Use freshly shredded cheese for the smoothest texture when melting.If the soup becomes too thick, add a little extra milk or broth while reheating.This soup pairs well with crusty bread or garlic toast for a complete meal.
