BEER CHEESE BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP



Beer Cheese Broccoli Cheddar Soup image

We take soup season pretty seriously here at PWWB, & this particular Beer Cheese Broccoli Cheddar Soup recipe remixes 2 beloved Midwest soups into 1 seriously epic meal! It's essentially a pretty classic broccoli cheese soup recipe - loaded with broccoli, carrots, & a little potato to help build creamy texture - but we've enhanced its flavor with the best Wisconsin-style flavor booster...beer! As a born & raised Wisconsinite, beer is one of my favorite secret ingredients for added flavor. It layers this soup with beautiful rich & earthy complexity. You can't necessarily tell it's there, but you'll definitely notice the difference it makes in the overall flavor of the soup! For best results, use a dark & malty beer, which tends to have more complex flavors that lend well to cooking. See the Recipe Notes, below, for more guidance. Aside from picking the right beer, the other ingredient you'll want to be a little more selective about is the cheese. As you might imagine, the quality of cheese you use has a pretty big effect on the overall flavor of the broccoli cheddar beer cheese soup. Be sure to grab a block of nice sharp cheddar - yellow or white, whatever you prefer - & shred it yourself. See the Recipe Notes, below, for more guidance. Happy Soup Season! ♡

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 medium head fresh broccoli, florets cut into bite-sized pieces and stems peeled & diced(approx. 4 heaping cups or 1 pound)
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
12 ounces dark, malty beer (see Recipe Notes)
3 cups vegetable stock or broth
2 medium carrots, peeled as desired & grated
1 medium russet potato, peeled & diced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard powder (can sub 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup heavy cream
12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded (approx. 3 cups shredded, see Recipe Notes)
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
kosher salt & ground black pepper, to season

Steps:

  • Gather & prep all ingredients according to Ingredients List, above - once you begin cooking, this beer cheese broccoli cheddar soup comes together pretty quickly so it's helpful to get any chopping & measuring done ahead of time. Dice 1 yellow onion, break down 1 head of broccoli, peel & dice 1 potato, shred 12 ounces cheese, measure liquid ingredients, etc. Place everything within arm's reach of the stove.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the onion, seasoning with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt & ground black pepper as desired. Cook until softened, 3-5 minutes. Add in the broccoli, seasoning with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt & ground black pepper as desired, & cook, stirring occasionally, until vibrantly green & slightly softened, 5-8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute longer. Carefully transfer the broccoli mixture to a plate & set aside.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the same pot, increasing heat to medium-high. Once melted, sprinkle the flour over top, whisking vigorously to eliminate any lumps. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Slowly pour the beer into the pot, whisking constantly to eliminate any lumps in the roux. Simmer 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beer is fragrant & reduced slightly.
  • Stir in the vegetable stock, grated carrots, diced potato, Worcestershire, mustard powder, smoked paprika, & about 2/3 of the reserved broccoli mixture from Step 2. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt & ground black pepper as desired. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer & simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, until the veggies are very tender & the soup is thickened some.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth & creamy, or to your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can also carefully transfer the soup into a stand blender. If so, remember to blend with caution. Work in batches to ensure the blender jar is never more than 2/3 full & be sure to remove the cap from the center of the lid. Place a thick kitchen towel over the hole & securely hold it in place as you blend the soup. Return the soup to the pot & heat to a gentle simmer.
  • Remove soup from heat and add the remaining broccoli mixture from Step 2 back into the pot, along with the heavy cream. Working 1 handful at a time, slowly stir the cheese into the soup, allowing it to melt completely before adding the next handful. Stir in the grated nutmeg. Taste & season with additional salt & ground black pepper as desired.
  • immediately, ladling the soup into individual bowls. Garnish with extra shredded cheese & serve alongside some buttered crusty bread as desired. Enjoy!

This outstanding broccoli-cheddar soup is rich, cheesy and packed with flavor. We decided to puree just over half the soup which makes it extra thick and creamy, and left the remainder chunky so there are broccoli bits in every bite. Gild the lily with more shredded cheese on top to satisfy your comfort food craving.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 large carrot, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half and half
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 cups broccoli florets (from about 1 head)
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large russet potato (about 8 ounces)
8 ounces mild yellow Cheddar, shredded (about 2 cups), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes, then gradually whisk in the half-and-half until smooth. Add the chicken broth, broccoli, bay leaves, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and few grinds of black pepper Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the broth has thickened and the broccoli is very tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prick the potato all over with a fork and put on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until tender, flipping halfway through, about 6 minutes. Let cool, then peel. Use a fork or potato masher to mash until crumbly.
  • Reserve 2 cups of the soup in a liquid measuring cup and discard the bay leaves. Let the remaining hot soup cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Add the mashed potato. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until very smooth.
  • Stir the pureed soup and reserved 2 cups of soup back into the pot. Whisk in the cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into serving bowls and top with more shredded Cheddar.
