Classic Cheddar Broccoli Soup

Following a methodical approach ensures a silky, luscious soup with no graininess from the cheese. This classic cheddar broccoli soup balances sharp, creamy flavors with tender vegetables for a comforting bowl.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the Soup

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups whole milk
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded (about 2 cups)
1 pound fresh broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, for warmth)

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until frothy. Add the finely diced yellow onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 4–5 minutes until translucent. Tip: Avoid browning the onion; you want sweetness without color.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion mixture and whisk continuously for 1–2 minutes until the flour is fully incorporated and the roux turns a pale golden color. This step cooks out the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the low-sodium chicken broth while whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
Slowly add the whole milk, whisking until smooth. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low.
Add the broccoli florets, kosher salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir to combine. Simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender when pierced with a fork. Tip: Do not overcook; broccoli should be tender but still vibrant green.
Remove the pot from the heat. Let it cool for 1 minute, then add the shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until each addition is fully melted before adding the next. Tip: Always melt cheese off the heat to avoid clumping or a gritty texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to purée partially or fully, but leave some chunky pieces for texture. Serve immediately.

Just ladle into warm bowls and garnish with extra shredded cheddar, a crack of black pepper, or crunchy croutons for contrast. The velvety broth envelops the broccoli with a rich, creamy finish that makes each spoonful deeply satisfying.

Smoky Gouda and Roasted Broccoli Soup

Finally, a soul-warming soup that tastes like a hug in a bowl, this Smoky Gouda and Roasted Broccoli Soup delivers deep, cozy flavor. Roasting the broccoli first brings out its natural sweetness, which pairs beautifully with the smoky, creamy gouda. This recipe walks you through each step to ensure a velvety, restaurant-quality result.

Serving: 6 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the Roasted Broccoli

1 1/2 pounds broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the Soup

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces smoked Gouda, rind removed and shredded (about 2 cups)
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra smokiness)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the florets are tender and deeply browned on the edges. Remove from oven and set aside.
While the broccoli roasts, melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Tip: Sweating the onion slowly develops sweetness without browning.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flavor. This roux will thicken the soup.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low.
Add the roasted broccoli to the pot and stir to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until completely smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a blender in batches, filling no more than half full, and blend carefully. Tip: For a chunkier texture, blend only half the soup.
Return the soup to low heat and stir in the heavy cream and shredded smoked Gouda. Whisk until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is silky, about 3 minutes. Do not let it boil or the cheese may separate.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Stir in smoked paprika at this point for a deeper smoky note, if desired. Serve hot.

Ultimately, this soup is silky and rich with a subtle smoky finish. Serve it with crusty bread for dipping, or garnish with extra gouda and a drizzle of truffle oil for an indulgent touch.

Vegan Cashew Cheesy Broccoli Soup

Made with a luscious cashew cream and nutritional yeast, this vegan broccoli soup delivers all the cheesy comfort without dairy. Follow these step-by-step instructions for a silky, satisfying bowl every time.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the Soup

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups (about 1 large head) broccoli florets and stems, chopped
3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

For the Cashew Cream

1 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup water
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Place the raw cashews in a small heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak for 15 minutes while you start the soup.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped broccoli, vegetable broth, 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook until broccoli is fork-tender, about 12–15 minutes. Tip: Do not overcook the broccoli—it should be bright green and tender but not mushy.
Meanwhile, drain the soaked cashews and transfer them to a blender. Add the 1/2 cup water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp salt. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed. Tip: For an extra-silky cream, blend for an additional 30 seconds; the heat from the water helps emulsify.
Once the broccoli is tender, carefully transfer the soup to the blender with the cashew cream. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until velvety smooth, about 1 minute. Tip: If using an immersion blender, tilt the pot slightly and blend in a circular motion to incorporate all pieces.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Return the soup to the pot over low heat for 2 minutes to warm through, stirring occasionally. Do not boil, as that can cause the cashew cream to separate.

Mound this vibrant soup into bowls and garnish with a drizzle of extra cashew cream, a pinch of smoked paprika, or crunchy roasted chickpeas for contrast. The creamy, cheesy flavor belies its dairy-free status, making it a weeknight staple that feels indulgent.

Bacon and Cheddar Broccoli Soup

Having a bowl of creamy broccoli soup is comfort food at its finest, but adding crispy bacon and sharp cheddar elevates it to a crave-worthy meal. Today, I'll guide you through each step to achieve a velvety, flavorful soup with that irresistible salty crunch.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
4 cups fresh broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated (about 2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-low heat, cook the bacon pieces, stirring occasionally, until crisp and the fat is rendered, about 8–10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside for garnish. Do not discard the rendered fat.
Add the butter to the pot with the bacon fat. Once melted and foaming, add the diced onion and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir constantly with a wooden spoon for 1–2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. The roux should be lightly golden and bubbling.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Add the milk and continue whisking until smooth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the broccoli florets and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the broccoli is tender when pierced with a fork, about 12–15 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup to your desired consistency—either completely smooth or partially chunky for texture. Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender and puree, then return to the pot.
Remove the pot from the heat. Add the grated cheddar cheese in handfuls, stirring gently until fully melted and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with a generous sprinkle of the reserved crispy bacon bits. Serve immediately.

Just imagine the contrast of creamy, velvety soup against the salty crunch of bacon—it's a textural triumph. Serve with crusty bread for dipping, or ladle into a bread bowl for an extra-special presentation.

Spicy Jalapeño Cheddar Broccoli Soup

Just when you thought broccoli soup couldn't be more exciting, this version brings a punch of heat from fresh jalapeños and sharp cheddar for a creamy, comforting bowl. Perfect for chilly days, this soup delivers bold flavor without complicated steps.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the Soup Base

3 tablespoons grass-fed unsalted butter
1 medium organic yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 fresh jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced (divided)
¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3 cups free-range low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup whole milk from pasture-raised cows
4 cups organic broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
6 ounces aged sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1½ cups)
½ teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, melt the butter until foamy. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. (Tip: Avoid browning the onion; sweating it gently builds sweetness without bitterness.)
Add the minced garlic and half of the minced jalapeño (reserve the rest for later). Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the aromatics and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste. (Tip: This creates a roux; keep the heat medium and stir well to prevent lumps.)
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking vigorously to incorporate the roux without clumps. Then whisk in the milk until smooth.
Add the broccoli florets and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 15 minutes. (Tip: Test by piercing a floret with a fork; it should yield easily.)
Using an immersion blender, partially blend the soup until it is creamy but still has small chunks of broccoli for texture. Alternatively, transfer 2 cups to a blender, blend until smooth, then return to the pot. (Tip: Do not over-blend; leaving some chunks provides satisfying bite.)
Off the heat, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and the soup is smooth. Add the remaining minced jalapeño, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.

Velvety with a kick, this soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a simple green salad. The sharp cheddar and grassy jalapeño notes linger pleasantly, making every spoonful a cozy, satisfying experience.

Creamy Parmesan and Broccoli Soup

Savor the comfort of a velvety, creamy soup that transforms humble broccoli into a luxurious meal. This Parmesan and broccoli soup uses rich heavy cream and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano to create a silky texture that feels indulgent yet wholesome.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon clarified butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups fresh broccoli florets and stems, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup finely grated aged Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the clarified butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent but not browned, about 5 minutes. *Tip: Keeping the onion pale ensures a light-colored soup that highlights the green of the broccoli.*
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly.
Add the broccoli pieces and vegetable broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the broccoli is very tender, about 15 minutes. *Tip: Including the stems adds natural sweetness and a silkier texture to the soup.*
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until completely smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
Set the pot over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is heated through. Do not let it boil, or the cream may curdle. *Tip: For the best melt, grate your Parmesan from a block just before adding.*
Season with freshly grated nutmeg, salt, and white pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.

Creative toppings like crispy prosciutto or a drizzle of truffle oil elevate this soup for special occasions. Each spoonful delivers a perfect balance of creamy richness and bright broccoli flavor.

Loaded Baked Potato Broccoli Cheese Soup

Hearty and comforting, this Loaded Baked Potato Broccoli Cheese Soup combines all the flavors of a classic loaded baked potato with tender broccoli in a velvety cheddar broth. It's the ultimate bowl of warmth for chilly days, packed with chunky baked potato, crisp-tender broccoli, and plenty of melted sharp cheddar.

Serving: 6 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 1 minutes

Ingredients

4 medium Russet potatoes, scrubbed and pierced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 1 medium head)
2 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 slices bacon (optional, for garnish)
2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Extra shredded cheddar (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the scrubbed, pierced potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 55-65 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork. (Tip: Baking with skins on adds earthy flavor and helps the potato hold its shape; don't skip piercing to prevent bursting.) Cool slightly, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups). Set aside.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. (Tip: Cook garlic just until fragrant to avoid bitterness.)
Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes until the roux turns a light golden color. (Tip: Cooking the roux until blond eliminates raw flour taste and adds a subtle nuttiness.)
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps, then add the milk and heavy cream. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Add the broccoli florets and cubed potatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes until broccoli is tender but still bright green.
Remove the pot from heat. Add the shredded cheddar, salt, and pepper, and stir gently until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. (Tip: Always add cheese off the heat to prevent curdling or stringiness; use freshly shredded cheese for best melting.)
Ladle the soup into bowls. If desired, garnish with crispy bacon crumbles, sliced green onions, and extra shredded cheddar.

The result is a luxuriously creamy soup with tender broccoli bites and hearty potato chunks, each spoonful delivering melted cheddar and a hint of smoky bacon. For a complete meal, serve with a crusty bread bowl or alongside a crisp green salad. This soup also freezes well—just omit the bacon garnish before freezing.

Broccoli and Blue Cheese Soup

For a velvety soup that perfectly marries the earthy sweetness of broccoli with the tangy punch of blue cheese, this recipe delivers a comforting bowl of elegance. By following these precise steps, even a novice cook can achieve a restaurant-quality cream soup.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, preferably European-style
1 medium sweet onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 pound organic broccoli florets, roughly chopped
3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 ounces high-quality blue cheese, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent but not browned, about 5 minutes. This gentle sweat prevents bitterness.
Add the sliced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Stir in the chopped broccoli florets and vegetable broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the broccoli is very tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. The broccoli should be soft enough to blend easily.
Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until completely smooth. If using a countertop blender, allow the soup to cool for 5 minutes, then blend in batches, filling the blender no more than halfway to avoid steam buildup. Return the pureed soup to the pot.
Place the pot over low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the crumbled blue cheese, whisking constantly until fully melted and incorporated. Season with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Taste and adjust salt carefully, as blue cheese can be salty.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional blue cheese crumbles and a drizzle of heavy cream if desired.

Creamy and robust, this soup's velvety texture is beautifully contrasted by the crumbled blue cheese garnish. Serve it with crusty bread for dipping or alongside a crisp green salad for a complete meal. The tangy blue cheese lingers pleasantly on the palate, making each spoonful a delight.

Cauliflower and Broccoli Cheese Soup

Given the chill in the air, nothing beats a bowl of extra-thick Cauliflower and Broccoli Cheese Soup. This recipe walks you through every step to create a velvety, sharp cheddar-laced soup that’s pure comfort in a mug.

Serving: 6 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 4 cups)
1 medium head broccoli, cut into florets (about 3 cups)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 cups whole milk
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Fresh chives, for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. (Tip: Sautéing the onion slowly builds a sweet flavor base.)
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and let it melt. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly, and cook for 2 minutes to form a pale roux. This step ensures a smooth, thick soup.
Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth and whole milk, making sure to dissolve any lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring often.
Add the cauliflower and broccoli florets. Return to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes. (Tip: To test doneness, pierce a floret with a fork; it should slide in easily.)
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until completely smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot. (Tip: Blending part or all of the soup creates an extra-thick, creamy texture without adding cream.)
Reduce the heat to low. Add the heavy cream, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne if using. Stir to combine.
Gradually sprinkle in the grated cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until fully melted and incorporated. Do not let the soup boil once cheese is added to prevent graininess. (Tip: Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents; grating your own block ensures a silky melt.)
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chives. Serve hot.

Just a single spoonful reveals a luxuriously thick, velvety texture with the sharp tang of cheddar balanced by subtle smokiness. For extra indulgence, serve with crusty bread for dipping or top with crispy bacon bits.

Instant Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Just when you thought classic broccoli cheddar soup couldn't get any cozier, the Instant Pot swoops in to deliver an ultra-creamy, deeply flavorful version in a fraction of the time. This methodical approach ensures a silky-smooth texture without the need for constant stirring, making it perfect for busy weeknights.

Serving: 6 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups whole milk
12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded (about 3 cups)
1 pound broccoli florets, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté mode (Normal). Add the unsalted butter and let it melt completely.
Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture. Stir constantly for 1 minute to form a roux; the mixture should be thick and slightly bubbly.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Add the whole milk and whisk until smooth.
Cancel Sauté mode. Stir in the broccoli florets, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Do not add the cheese yet.
Secure the lid, set the valve to Sealing, and Pressure Cook on High for 3 minutes. The pot will take about 8 to 10 minutes to come to pressure.
Quick release the pressure by turning the valve to Venting. Open the lid carefully.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until completely smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté mode (Low). Add the shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time, whisking constantly until fully melted before adding the next handful. This prevents clumping and ensures a velvety texture. Tip: If the soup seems too thick, stir in extra milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Beneath its velvety surface, this soup delivers a perfectly balanced interplay of sharp cheddar and earthy broccoli, with a whisper of nutmeg to warm the palate. For a heartier meal, ladle it into a bread bowl or serve alongside a crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
