Hey Cooks today we’re making broccoli cheddar soup this soup is creamy and cheesy and cheddar and absolutely fantastic so welcome to the Emy learns to cook Kitchen So today we’re using this really cute large cast iron enamel pan I think this is called Lilac or lavender or something like that I’ll put a link down in the description to it I love the color we got this when we went to the um Lodge Outlet down in Pigeon Forge

If you’re ever down that way go in there right so I have a whole stick of butter in here I have it over medium heat I’m just going to let this melt a little bit okay so it’s just about melted I’m going to go ahead let me turn down a little

Bit I’m going to put an onion in here that’s diced and we’re going to cook it in all this butter I call this we’re going to do a little butter bra right I don’t know if that’s like a technical term or not but that’s what we’re going to do look at that butter

Bra looks amazing so we’re just going to let this uh cook a little bit until the start to get translucent ooh our onions are looking mighty fine here so I’m going to put some carrots these are just one cup of chopped baby carrots and you don’t want

Them so so big like beef stew you just want in little pieces like that I’m also putting one cup of chopped celery same pieces about this I took the celery sticks cut them twice this way and then chopped them just so they won’t be so big in the soup mhm so we’re going

To cook these down until they start to soften okay so that’s looking pretty good it’s been Brazing in that butter so we’re actually going to put in I don’t know like 1,000 clothes of garlic sure can’t ever have too much right 1,000 anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 cloves of

Garlic no werewolves around here you can it or you can just squeeze it today I’m squeezing it because well that’s what I feel like Doing well what I don’t feel like doing is peeling and uh peeling and chopping yeah I already did enough let’s see that was what 550 you take it up to an even thousand let’s go to a thousand all right yay all right okay so we got 1,000 cloves of

Garlic in here and I’m I think the city just going to cook it for maybe a minute or two the city of giloy California says thank you Boo Boo oh you’re welcome giloy so we’re going to put two cups of low sodium chicken broth yum mhm that looks mighty fine

We’re going to put two cups of heavy cream MH mighty fine yeah no this soup is for Eric M not for me we’re going to put a teaspoon of granulated garlic cuz that has a different flavor than regular garlic we’re going to put a half a teaspoon of

Nutmeg give us a little spicy there I’m going to put a bay leaf for every cup of liquid I have in here so that means four that’s not a rule that’s just what I’m doing pepper fresh cracked black pepper to taste I’m not going to put salt because usually it’s salty enough with

My chicken broth oo but if you like salt you can always salt to taste at the end salt to taste everything is to taste so I have about four cups of broccoli um it’s like two heads I cut them into pieces like this so I took

I I took the major branches off and then I cut in those major branches to get me these smaller pieces cuz I made this for Eric Eric’s not a big broccoli fan but I’ve made it for him where I put the broccoli was a wee bit too big wee bit

To and he was like these are like meatloaf broccoli well I needed a fork to eat broccoli so we’re just going to let the simmer maybe 10 15 minutes until the broccoli is tender so I’ve had this on a low simmer and I forked this and they’re

Getting tender you don’t want to let it cook too much otherwise you’ll lose that crisp tender I have a/4 cup of corn starch here I’m going to put 1/4 cup of water in there and I’m just going to stir this until it completely dissolves

So this is a slurry and it will serve as a thickener for this but a slurry has to sort of come to a boil and you’re using cold water in there yeah cold water so just do a slurry uh equal parts water and corn starch and it’s based on a

Recipe where we have four cups of liquid in there that we’re trying to tighten up so that’s why she put that much in there so I’m going to take out these bay leaves when I see them I put more bay leaves than you would normally just because this is not like a

Long simmering soup no so I put extra so I get that flavor from all there so at this point the soup is heavy with onion and garlic taste but as soon as we put the cheese in it’s going to mellow out in a hurry yeah so it’s thicking up pretty nicely

Look look at this spoon I love this I got this uh recently it’s a silicone spoon so I have three cups of shredded cheddar cheese and one thing I recommend is that you shred it yourself this is what we did so one thing you’re going to want is some fresh shredded

Cheese um you don’t want to use the stuff in the package cuz it doesn’t melt very well so I have like 2 lbs of cheese I’m not going to use all this I’m just shredding it right now so I have it in the Brel okay so yeah shred it yourself if you use shredded cheese out of the bag they put like corn starch and flour and sawdust on it and it doesn’t melt that well so you really need to just get a block of cheese and and uh shred it yourself so you’re

Going to just let this work in here we were generous with the three cups and we packed it yeah generous three cups so as this starts to melt it will start to get turn oranger and give us that cheesy texture in consistency it’s weird it’ll take a little bit for it to start

Melting and then when it melts it incorporates and it brings it all brings it on home look at that M that looks amazing it looks like we have some uh broccoli cheddar soup look at that now that my friends is something delicious well let me go grab

A bowl cuz I can’t have this cuz I’m allergic to chees allergic to milk time to serve up the soup woo hi boo yeah I love you Uhhuh now don’t get cheap with Me oh it looks good Mhm it’s amazing I like broccoli all of a sudden that is Amazing so I’m just going to garnish it with a little shredded cheddar cheese M just just because I’m extra like that M and I’m sure Eric’s ready to come take a taste MH okay Ebu you ready to uh take a taste maybe but first I want to give

Congratulations to my hair do artist I cut his hair boo boo she broke out this year so no more this work from home hair okay boo go for it oo looks cheesy I would say it’s full of cheese wouldn’t it so first of all the broccoli is tender and tasty

Um there’s a lot of balce flavor it’s really hard to say so yes is it cheesy of course it is but we’re also not we don’t have nacho sauce here either I mean I suppose I could dip some chips in here but that’s not the purpose this is

A soup so if you wanted a little little thinner you can put three cups of broth instead of two so I have two broth two heavy cranage you can just do three cups of broth if you want thinner so do you want chicken noodle soup on one hand and

Do you want nacho on the other hand and somewhere in the middle is cheesy souit so we went towards the middle so look at this oo look how pretty that’s pretty Yum Yum Yum Yum yay I’m glad you like it though oh but yeah I’m normally not a big broccoli fan

But he’ll eat broccoli if you if you cover it in cheese I cand be bride yes so cheese is a good way to do it but yeah yeah this is really good flavor I know it’s really hard to say but you know you saw the stuff she put in here

So yes the garlic and the um onion and all that stuff it really helps out and uh the cream and the cheese it just goes well so um glad you like it I really like it fact I’m going take all thing hope you enjoy the Recipe
