Broccoli Cheese Soup
On this cold and rainy day, I felt like cuddling up with some warm, cheesy, and comforting soup and this broccoli cheese soup was just the trick. Paired with some crusty bread, there’s nothing quite like dipping it into this golden ambrosia melted with thick cheesy threads with just enough broccoli for some welcomed texture {and for not feeling like you’re being too over indulgent}

Total time
Author: The Squishy Monster
Serves: 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 tb browned, melted, unsalted butter
- ½ c sliced onion
- 1 c broccoli florets
- 1 tb unbleached flour
- ½ c chicken stock {and extra for thinning if desired}
- 2½ c warm whole milk
- Pinch of nutmeg {optional}
- Salt and pepper
- ½ c tiny broccoli florets/shredded carrots {optional}
- 3 c cheese {I used cheddar, parmiggiano, and gouda}
Instructions
- In a pot set over medium-low, slowly melt and brown the butter. Swirl it around and keep your eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
- Sauté the onions and broccoli with salt and pepper in the browned butter until softened.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir well.
- Splash in the chicken stock to deglaze then slowly pour in the warm milk and stir, stir, stir {to prevent lumps}.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg and season with salt and pepper.
- At this point, you can break up the veggies if you’d like {with an immersion/standard blender, food processor, or potato masher} or keep it just as is.
- Return the soup back to the pot and add the carrots and extra broccoli {if using}.
- Introduce the cheese and allow it to slightly melt then serve with crusty bread.
Stay warm, my friends!
Love,

I cannot believe the polar vortex you guys are still in! If I were back at home, I’d be digging into this, too!

I love broccoli and cheese, they are so good together
Like milk and cookies =)
This looks amazing! I love how cheesy it is and definitely warm you up on a cold day!
Broccoli cheese soup is one of my favorites!! Yours looks so thick and yummy.
Now that is one decadent bread bowl full of soup! I usually go heavier on the broccoli when I make it, but I definitely see the merit to this super-gooey, cheesy rendition. I guess I had better stock up on the vegan shreds…
I am a big soup person, soup just makes me happy! Broccoli cheddar soup is hands down one of my all-time favorites but I have struggled to find a recipe I like enough to put in my make again list. I can’t wait to give yours a try!
Oh, yum! Looks great!
This is one of my favourite soups
Beautiful presentation and a delightful, comforting soup!
This looks amazing Angela! Love broccoli and cheese and it looks mouthwatering served inside the crusty bread! It’s been so cold here too so a big bowl of this warm soup sounds perfect
Oh babe you made my mouth water! Amazing soup recipe, and wonderful video of course! I am hungry now!:)))
Oh yum, this looks delicious! And perfect for winter!
Thanks, Sandra!

Pure comfort! Perfect for these nasty last days of winter.

I hope we can banish them for good soon!
This is an extraordinary soup and an extraordinary broccoli dish too! I love the way you served it in bread. I almost want colder days to come back
A bread bowl and this soup sound perfect to me right now!
This is an awesome way to sneak in broccoli into our meals and I am loving how you served them in those bread bowls!
Thanks, Jo!
I’m hoping they’re gone for good. Late winter sleet was no bueno.
This literally has my mouth watering! I want to grab a chunk of that bread and dip it right in. Broccoli cheese was my favorite soup as a kid.
awesome cheddar and broccoli soup is one of my favs! i also tried the barley tea. it was weird at first(becuz i probably screwed it up-haha) but very delicious! then i had 2 tblspn barley to eat after. hehe
I just bought broccoli yesterday, I think this will be todays lunch.
Hooray!
I’m so happy to hear the rest wasn’t wasted. That is freaking awesome!
I can’t decide if the crusty bread or all that cheese is my favorite part
such a comforting bowl of soup! love that pinch of nutmeg!
I love, love, love nutmeg in soups and dark greens…yum!
This soup looks delicious! I love putting soup in a bread bowl. It makes the soup much more enjoyable for some reason! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
Thanks for stopping by!
Would this sauce be good over macaroni noodles? Love that mac and cheese!
Mmm, that would be amaazing!
