Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Broccoli Cheese Soup.
Step 1
To start your delicious broccoli cheese soup, grab a large pot and melt some butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is beautifully melted, sprinkle in the flour and lower the heat to low.
Step 3
Keep stirring constantly for about two minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and bubbly, creating a lovely roux.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to add some flavor! Gradually pour in the chicken stock and milk while stirring continuously to keep everything well combined.
Step 5
Season your mixture with a pinch of white pepper and salt to taste.
Step 6
Bring this delightful concoction to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about ten minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 7
While your soup is simmering, take another large pot and fill it with lightly salted water.
Step 8
Bring it to a boil, then toss in the broccoli florets.
Step 9
Cook them for about two minutes, just until they’re tender but still vibrant.
Step 10
Once they’re ready, drain the broccoli and set it aside, letting it wait for its moment to shine.
Step 11
Now, return to your creamy soup base and slowly add in the processed cheese and shredded Cheddar cheese.
Step 12
Stir gently until the cheeses melt into the mixture, creating a rich and creamy texture that’s simply irresistible.
Step 13
Finally, fold in the cooked broccoli and let everything simmer together for an additional five minutes, allowing the broccoli to warm through and soak up all that cheesy goodness.
