Ingredients

  • 50 g butter
  • 1 large brown onion, diced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 kg frozen broccoli florets
  • 1 L chicken broth (4 cups)
  • 250 g cream cheese, cubed
  • 150 g cheddar cheese, grated
  • 50 g parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp chives, chopped

Instructions

  • Heat a large saucepan/pot over medium heat.
  • Once the pot has heated, add in the butter, onions, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring until the onions have softened. You don't want them to brown so you may need to adjust the temperature.
  • While the onions are cooking, set aside approxiamtely ¼ (250g)of the broccoli in a bowl to start to defrost.
  • Once the onions are cooked, add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken broth and the remaining 750g of broccoli florets to the pot and turn the heat up to bring it to a gentle boil. The broth may not completely cover the broccoli initially, but once it start to cook it will
  • Cook at a gentle boil until the broccoli is cooked and completely tender.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and add in the cubed cream cheese.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until is completely smooth and creamy. This may take 2-3 minutes. Be very careful blending hot liquid! If you do not have an immersion blender, you can also blend the soup in a belnder jug in 2 -3 batches. Again be very careful belnding hot liquid.
  • Return the soup to the heat and add in the grated cheeses to the pot and bring to a simmer.
  • Roughly chop the reserved broccoli florets into small bite-sized pieces, and also add them to the soup.
  • Once the broccoli pieces are cooked and soup has come to a simmer, stir through the chives and the soup is ready to eat.
