Started with some butter, sweated a finely diced onion and a decent handful of garlic into it, along with dried oregano and basil, let the butter brown just a touch and made a roux. Next went a heaping portion of cheddar and parmesean until it emulsified. I then emulsified in some milk and added roasted broccoli florets and salted to taste. It was very nice, both flavor and consistency-wise!

I’d smash 2-3 bowls lol. Easily a top 3 soup for me. Chuck some bacon bits and chives in there, toast on the side? Game time
Nice to see pieces of broccoli in there instead of pulverized or boiled to death broccoli specs.
My fucking favorite! Thanks for not over cooking the broccoli bro. Silky smooth.
I know what I’m making tomorrow!
That looks really good 😋
Looks yummy
Smoooooth 😎
Omg it looks so tasty 🤤
I never use flour in a soup-thicken it with potato before blitzing-flour burns on the bottom of the pan. Also i never use the stalks of the brocoli as its too strong in flavour. Looks bloody tasty though to be honest.
I don’t use this word often, but that looks unctuous
Broccoli soup is seriously underrated. Bowl of that and some cheesy croutons (or just crispy croutons) on a cold night is just perfect.
(Actually might make that for dinner on Tuesday…gonna be 11C and raining all day, perfect soup weather).
Yes you did 👍
I was hungry and didn’t know what I wanted to eat. Good shout buddy, thanks. Looking good
I personally feel it needs more broccoli. I feel like your aim is once piece of broccoli per cup of soup, and that’s just not nearly enough.
Man I’ve been craving this
Actually looks not overcooked and thickened to shit. Solid
Yes please.
Now pour it over a baked potato or plate of fries 🤤
Ooooo that’s my favorite! My mom makes me a batch for my birthday in October. Perfect weather for it.
Would upvote for Stilton
Yes please!!
You can taste the velvet texture in the video 😭
My favorite way to have broccoli cheddar soup is just like this with one modification roasted broccoli added on top. Roasted broccoli florets are such a game changer. They add a great consistency, nutty and smoky flavor that works so well with cheddar.

More broccoli shredded carrot for some lively color
Like seeing a decent recipe on here. Thanks
You need way more broccoli in there. No joke.
I like to add carrots for sweetness.
Heaven
I like broccoli cheddar soup from Quiznos when they were still around. It’s probably because I tasted more cheese than broccoli.
I had to adjust my pants good job looks amazing.
Would
I love broccoli cheddar soup so much. I like to dice up the broccoli stalks and use them in the mirepoix.
I was about to compliment the consistency, but then i saw you dropped the recipe as well so ill suck your dick if u want
