Number Of Ingredients 11

4 heads broccoli, cut into 1-inch pieces
Olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
1 whole onion, diced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
2 cups half-and-half
Pinch nutmeg
3 cups grated cheese (mild Cheddar, sharp Cheddar, Jack, etc.), plus more for garnish, optional
1 cup chicken broth, optional

Stir to combine and cook until the flour is absorbed and smells lightly toasted, 1 minute or so. Add the milk and half-and-half.

SLOW COOKER CREAMY POTATO, CABBAGE, BROCCOLI AND CHEESE SOUP



Slow Cooker Creamy Potato, Cabbage, Broccoli and Cheese Soup image

I wanted something a little healthier than regular potato soup. This has some extra veggies and fewer processed ingredients and is wonderful on a cold day. I had to guess on the cooking time as I was home for this and ended up cooking on high because I couldn't wait to eat it.

Provided by JG-TKD

Categories     Low Protein

Time 6h30m

Yield 5 1/2 quarts, 11 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup chopped celery, 2 stalks
12 ounces frozen broccoli florets
8 medium potatoes, cubed golden potato
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or more)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (or more)
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups water (more or less)
1 small cabbage, chopped
8 ounces neufchatel cheese (cream cheese)
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese (not the taco seasoning type, or cheddar if you like)
tony chachere's original creole seasoning

Steps:

  • Place everything except cabbage and cheese in a 6 quart crockpot.
  • Add as much cabbage as will fit and still leave about an inch of space between the top of the food and the lid.
  • Add water to almost cover the ingredients (about 2 cups when I made it).
  • Cook on low until soft my guess is 6-8 hours then use an immersion blender to cream everything.
  • add in cheeses and blend again, or let melt and stir.
  • This is a nice hearty soup for the cold snap we are having. It needed a bit more flavor so I added the tony's at the end. Adding bits of ham at the beginning might work for that as well.

BROCCOLI SOUP WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE



Broccoli Soup with Cheddar Cheese image

"As a student at Bloomsburg University, I spent many Sunday afternoons at Russell's restaurant in downtown Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania," writes Marganne Hoffman of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. "A decade after graduating, I still crave their cheddar-crusted broccoli soup. I would be thrilled if the owners would share the recipe-and so would my family." The stems and florets are added to the soup separately so that the stems will cook until tender and the florets won't overcook.

BROCCOLI CHEESE AND POTATO SOUP



Broccoli Cheese and Potato Soup image

This is a yummy and easy soup to throw together. Cheese compliments broccoli and potatoes so well. Ultimate comfort food when the weather starts to get colder. I love to serve it with homemade rolls or bread and a salad. I make it with skim milk to cut back on calories but feel free to substitute whole milk or half-and-half for a creamier soup. If I'm really short on time, I just throw in a can of diced, already cooked potatoes towards the end of the cooking time until they are heated through. If you want a thicker soup, just add desired amount of flour mixed until smooth with an equal amount of water. Mmmmmm....

BROCCOLI-CHEESE SOUP



Broccoli-Cheese Soup image

Broccoli-cheese soup is my life. There's something about it that triggers a happy, peaceful memory. I just don't know what the memory is. So I guess technically, it isn't really a memory at all. I think a memory, by definition, is something that someone actually has to remember.

Provided by Ree Drummond

Categories     HarperCollins     Dinner     Soup/Stew     Quick & Easy     Broccoli     Cheddar     Cheese     Kid-Friendly     Small Plates

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter
1 large onion, diced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
2 cups half-and-half
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 broccoli heads, cut into florets
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, more for garnish
Small bread loaves for bowls (you can buy them in nice bakeries)

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and stir it around to cook, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour on top of the onion and use a whisk to work in the flour. Once it's combined, cook the onion-flour mixture for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the milk and half-and-half, whisking constantly until combined.
  • Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Add the broccoli florets and stir them into the soup. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low, then simmer the soup until it's thickened and the broccoli is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken broth and check the consistency. The soup should be thick, but if it still seems too thick, splash in a little more broth.
  • Throw in the cheese! Stir it in until it's melted, taste and adjust the seasonings . . . and get ready to serve it up.
  • At an angle, cut off the top third of the bread. Remove the "lid." Tear out chunks of bread, leaving a 1/2-inch rim around the crust. (Save the bread in a plastic storage bag for another use.)

Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
A coupe squeezes of lemon juice (opt.)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in large, heavy soup pot. Add onion and celery. Cook, stirring, until tender -- 5 minutes. Do not allow ingredients to brown -- add a generous pinch of salt to draw liquid out of vegetables. Add garlic and cook, stirring until fragrant -- 30 seconds. Add broccoli, rice, stock, bay leaf, cheese rind, thyme, rosemary. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the bay leave, thyme stalks, cheese rind. Using an immersion blender, puree soup. Adjust salt and pepper seasonings. Stir in Cheddar cheese and adjust seasonings again. You can sharpen and adjust taste by adding a couple of squeezes of lemon juice from 1/2 a fresh lemon.
