Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups chopped broccoli
  • 3 oz shredded carrots
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped (or 1 tbsp minced garlic)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz full-fat cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 112g)

Instructions

  1. Dice onion and chop broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt butter and sauté onion until soft. Add garlic and stir until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Lower heat and stir in cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth.
  5. Add broccoli and shredded carrots. Simmer covered until broccoli is tender (but still green), stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and let melt completely.
  7. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Serve hot—no blending required.

Notes

  • Add cooked shredded chicken for extra protein.
  • Use cayenne or hot sauce for heat.
  • Try Monterey Jack or Gruyère for a cheese twist.
  • Simmer uncovered after adding cheese for a thicker texture.
  • Use frozen broccoli (thawed and chopped) if needed.
