Broccoli Cheddar Soup

A velvety American soup with tender broccoli, sweet onion, and sharp cheddar folded into a lightly thickened milk base. A small amount of mustard and smoked paprika gives the familiar classic extra depth without overpowering the vegetables.

Comment préparer

1
Heat the olive oil in a heavy 4-liter saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
2
Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for 1 minute, until it coats the onion and smells lightly nutty but has not browned.
3
Whisk in the broth gradually, followed by the milk, until smooth. Add the broccoli, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring just to a gentle simmer, then cook uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender when pierced but still green.

4
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the grated cheddar in three additions, waiting until each addition melts before adding the next. Keep the soup hot but below a boil so the cheese stays smooth.
5
Taste and adjust the salt and pepper. For a slightly smoother texture, blend about one-quarter of the soup with an immersion blender while leaving most of the broccoli pieces intact.
6
Ladle the soup into warm bowls and serve immediately, with extra cheddar and black pepper if desired.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

Sweating the aromatics before simmering builds a sweet base, while a restrained flour roux gives the soup body without making it heavy. Sharp cheddar, mustard, and paprika balance the broccoli's earthy flavor.

Conservation et réchauffage

Comment la conserver

Refrigerate cooled soup in an airtight container for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze before adding the cheddar and cream, then add them while reheating for the best texture.

Comment la réchauffer

Reheat gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until steaming hot; do not boil. Add a splash of milk if the soup has thickened.
