"Thick, velvety broccoli cheddar soup that tastes like the Costco deli container — except you get a full pot for the price of two of theirs."

The Game Plan
-
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook 4-5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
-
Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir constantly for 2 minutes to make a roux.
-
Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk, stirring to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer.
-
Add broccoli florets, mustard powder, and nutmeg. Simmer 12-15 minutes until broccoli is very tender.
-
Use an immersion blender to blend about half the soup (leave it chunky). Or transfer half to a blender, blend smooth, and return to the pot.
-
Stir in heavy cream and cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese is fully melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
