Stir in 2-3 cups freshly shredded cheddar (not pre shredded, it won't melt properly) and 3-4 heads of chopped broccoli. Warm through. Use an immersion blender at the end to blend some of it to thicken it. Yum!


Just in case someone wants a variation: I make a curried cauliflower version, very similar to this. One head of cauliflower and about four florets of broccoli. 2 teaspoons of curry powder.

When I steam broccoli crowns for dinner, I save the stems and make them into soup for another day. I'll shave off the harder parts of the outside with a potato peeler and chop it into chunks. Sautee onions and garlic in olive oil, then add the garlic and some veggie or chicken stock. Cook until soft, blend with an immersion blender, then add salt, pepper, etc. until you like the taste. No cream needed.

NP here. You always post the best-sounding ideas/recipes and must be one awesome cook! Seriously, did you learn from a mom or grandparent, or on your own?

Preferably one without soy milk or low fat. Rich, thick and creamy. I want to feel like I am sitting in my Grandma's kitchen again. Unfortunately my Grandma didn't use recipes, and no one thought to ask her how she did it.
