Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped

• 2 cups cauliflower florets, chopped

• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

• 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tbsp butter

• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for thickening)

• ½ tsp paprika

• ½ tsp dry mustard powder (optional, for depth of flavor)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Sauté the aromatics:

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).

2. Make the roux:

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. This helps thicken the soup.

3. Add broth and vegetables:

Slowly whisk in the broth, ensuring no lumps form. Add the broccoli and cauliflower, then season with salt, pepper, paprika, and mustard powder. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

4. Blend (optional):

For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup, leaving some chunks for texture.

5. Add cheese and cream:

Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the shredded cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

6. Serve:

Ladle into bowls and garnish with extra shredded cheese or crumbled bacon for extra flavor. Enjoy warm!
