• Bring liquid to a boil, then lower heat, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the heat.

• Using an immersion hand-held blender, begin to slowly pulse up and down directly inside the large pot of soup to puree the potato and broccoli. Puree until well blended. If you don't have one, then blend in your blender but only in small batches and only use the lowest speed. The heat of the soup could pop the lid off the blender, so be extra careful.
• Stir in the remaining cooked broccoli and cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and blended. Season with fresh cracked pepper to taste.
• Ladle soup into bowls, and garnish with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Serve warm.
