Equipment

Large pot

Ingredients

4 cups broccoli florets chopped
1 medium onion finely chopped
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ cup grated carrot
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon cayenne pepper sauce
3 cups chicken stock
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1½ cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it's soft, about 5 minutes. You’ll want it to be translucent, providing a fragrant backdrop to your soup.
Next, stir in the chopped broccoli and grated carrot. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly while absorbing the flavor from the onion.
Pour in the chicken stock gradually. With a little mixing, scrape the pot’s bottom to release those flavorful bits. Bring to a boil.
Add fresh lemon juice, cayenne pepper sauce, nutmeg, and garlic powder to the boiling mixture. Mix well and then reduce to a simmer.
Slowly add the heavy whipping cream while stirring constantly. Let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until it melts smoothly into the soup. You’re nearly there, folks!
Give it a taste. Need more seasoning? Adjust as necessary. If you want to amp up the creaminess, adding a touch more cream won’t hurt.

Notes

Freshen Up: Use fresh broccoli for the best flavor. Frozen broccoli often loses that delightful crunch.
Go Sharp: Opt for sharp cheddar cheese. It provides a more robust flavor compared to mild alternatives.
Stop Overcooking: Don't boil the soup after adding the cream. That can cause it to curdle. Keep it on a low simmer.
Blend it Up: For a smoother texture, feel free to blend part of the soup with an immersion blender. Just before adding the cheese, blend and then return to the pot.
Flavor Boost: Indulge in adding some freshly grated parmesan cheese at the end, which will deepen the flavor profile even further.
