Truffle Oil Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 cups of broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup of diced onion
- 1/2 cup of diced celery
- 1/2 cup of diced carrots
- 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of truffle oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup of diced onion, 1/2 cup of diced celery, and 1/2 cup of diced carrots to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add 4 cups of broccoli florets to the pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
- Using an immersion blender or transferring the mixture to a blender, blend the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pot if using a blender.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of truffle oil into the soup and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the truffle oil broccoli cheddar soup hot, garnished with additional shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
