Curried Broccoli Cheddar Soup image

You're probably thinking, "Curry and cheddar? Really?" Honestly, they make a delicious combination. I like strongly flavored and spiced foods, and so I experiment by adding curry powder to a number of dishes, many with cheddar cheese (including mac-and-cheese), and so I decided to try it in broccoli cheddar soup. Here is the result:

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
7 ounces diced onions
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, deseeded and chopped
4 ounces carrots
3 ounces fresh gingerroot, sliced
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 -2 tablespoon curry powder (I like Badia's turmeric-based mix)
3 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
pepper, to taste
1 lb frozen broccoli
1/2 cup half-and-half
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Saute onions, garlic, pepper, carrots, ginger, cayenne pepper and curry powder in butter over medium heat for 2-5 minutes. Add water and broccoli. Season to taste. Simmer 10-15 minutes. Don't simmer too long or broccoli will lose its color.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to the bowl of a food processor, leaving the cooking liquid in the pan. Process until smooth and then return to the cooking liquid.
  • Stir in cream and cheese. Heat over medium fire until cheese is melted.
