Broccoli Cheddar Soup is a comforting and flavourful soup that combines the goodness of broccoli with the rich and creamy taste of cheddar cheese. In this recipe, onions, carrots, and garlic are sautéed in butter until tender and aromatic. A blend of spices including salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg adds depth of flavor. Flour is then added to create a roux, followed by vegetable stock and full cream milk to create a creamy base. Fresh broccoli florets are added and simmered until tender. Finally, the soup is enriched with Clover Cheddar Cheese, creating a velvety and cheesy texture. Garnish with parsley for a touch of freshness. This Broccoli Cheddar Soup is the ultimate comfort food on a chilly day.
