Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until soft, about 3 minutes.
  2. Simmer the Soup: Add potatoes, broccoli, carrots, broth, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  3. Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to partially blend, leaving some chunks. Alternatively, blend half of the soup in a blender and return it to the pot.
  4. Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh chives, and enjoy warm!

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut or cashew cream and use a plant-based cheddar.
  • To add a spicy kick, mix in a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating gently on the stovetop.
