Description
A creamy, comforting broccoli cheddar soup made with tender vegetables, sharp cheddar, and Greek yogurt for extra richness. This gluten free soup is hearty, flavorful, and perfect for a cozy meal.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 large head broccoli including stalks (about 1 lb), chopped with florets separated
- 1 Yukon gold potato, diced (about 1.5 cups)
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 900 mL vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and pressed garlic and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add the chopped broccoli stalks, diced potato, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the broccoli stalks and potato are fork-tender, about 8–10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the soup to a high-powered blender or use an immersion blender in the pot. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the Greek yogurt, then add the broccoli florets and shredded carrots. Simmer while stirring occasionally until the broccoli florets are fully cooked.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and well combined. Serve warm.
Notes
- Top with crushed gluten free crackers or extra shredded cheddar for added texture.
- If using a countertop blender, allow the soup to cool slightly and blend in batches to avoid pressure buildup.
- For a thinner soup, add a splash of additional vegetable broth.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
