Ingredients

Scale

1 head of broccoli, chopped into florets
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until fragrant and softened, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the broccoli, diced potatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. (If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender.)
Stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

You can substitute the vegetable broth with chicken broth if you prefer a non-vegan version.
For a thicker soup, add more potatoes or blend a portion of the soup to your desired consistency.
For extra richness, you can use heavy cream instead of milk.
This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
