Broccoli and Cheddar Soup

If you only have 30 minutes for dinner, but you want something healthy and comforting in this colder weather, you need to make this cheddar and broccoli soup. We’re going to start by chopping up the broccoli and grating the carrot. And then we’re going to dice an onion. Then finally, chop some garlic. Melt some butter in a pan. Add the carrot, the onion, and the garlic with a pinch of salt. Let this cook for 8 minutes. Add a tablespoon of flour. This will help thicken the soup. We want to let the flour cook for about a minute just so it doesn’t have that flowery taste. Then pour in some chicken stock. Add the broccoli. Let this simmer for 12 minutes. Then remove a quarter of the soup. Blend it smooth. Then add it back into the pan. Add some cream, cheddar cheese, some mustard, woristers sauce, mixy mixy. Once the cheese has melted, serve it in your bowl with black pepper, cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon. Look at that. That is absolutely banging. Lovely.

    Love this guy. But saying this dish is "healthy" while adding cream, bacon and cheddar cheese is ridiculous!

    If you don't want to use heavy cream, try canned evaporated milk. It's thick like cream, and it's already cooked so it won't curdle. Plus, less fat.

    You did ruin the lovely by adding the most unhealthy food element to your soup . It is the white glutten powder. It is unnecessary though …
