Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 3 cups broccoli florets, chopped small
  • 1 large carrot, shredded or julienned
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
  • Homemade croutons (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  • Sauté Base: Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  • Add Garlic & Flour: Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes to create a smooth roux.
  • Add Liquids: Slowly whisk in the milk, followed by vegetable broth. Stir until well combined and starting to thicken.
  • Add Veggies & Simmer: Toss in the chopped broccoli, carrots, and Dijon mustard. Reduce heat to low and let simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes, or until broccoli is tender.
  • Cheese Time: Remove the pot from heat. Stir in shredded cheddar a little at a time until fully melted and creamy.
  • Final Touch: Taste and adjust seasoning. Let sit for 2 minutes, then ladle into bowls and top with croutons if using.

Notes

  • Dice broccoli small for faster, even cooking.
  • Use block cheese and shred it yourself—pre-shredded doesn’t melt as smoothly.
  • Let the soup rest a couple of minutes before serving to help thicken naturally.
  • If freezing, add the cheese when reheating, not before.
