Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 1/2 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/3 cups chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 1/2 cups peeled and cubed russet potatoes
  • 3 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk (preferably low-fat)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt half the butter. Sauté the chopped carrots, celery, and onion for about four minutes until softened.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for another thirty seconds. Pour in the chicken broth, cubed potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for fifteen minutes until potatoes are tender.
  3. Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for an additional five minutes until bright green.
  4. In a separate saucepan, melt the remaining butter and whisk in the flour for one minute to create a roux.
  5. Gradually add milk while whisking until smooth; cook until thickened. Stir in heavy cream before combining with the soup pot mixture.
  6. Remove from heat and mix in shredded cheddar and parmesan cheese until melted.
  7. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.
