Vegetarian Broccoli Cheddar Soup
A creamy, comforting soup loaded with tender broccoli and melted cheddar.
This rich soup starts by sautéing onion and garlic in butter, then simmering broccoli in broth until soft. A roux of flour and butter thickens the base before stirring in sharp cheddar and milk for ultimate creaminess.
