This easy-to-make Broccoli Cheddar Soup Recipe is jam-packed with flavor and is the perfect soup to serve to family and friends during the fall and winter months.
Add the butter to a large pot over medium heat. Once melted, add in the onions, garlic, and leeks and cook until lightly browned and translucent, which takes about 8 to 10 minutes.
Next, stir in the flour until combined in to make a roux. Add in the broccoli and chicken stock and bring to a boil and cook the broccoli just until al dente, or slightly crunchy.
At this point ensure the soup is thick. If it’s not, you may need to make a separate roux or slurry and whisk it in. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in in to combine over low heat.
