Let’s make a really simple pot of broccoli and cheese soup. Now, I’m not using the big seven court Dutch oven today. I’m going to be making a small batch. If we’re being honest, I just want to try out this new pumpkin Dutch oven I got. This is about 3 tablespoons of butter. We got half a yellow onion here, diced, and about a cup of these shredded matchstick carrots. Hit them with some salt and pepper. Just cook these down until those onions and those carrots start to soften up. Our vegetables are nice and soft, so I’m going to put in some flour. That was half of a/4 cup. Somebody do the math and tell me how many tablespoons that is. I’m going do a little more. Cook this down just for a minute or two until you don’t have any raw flour left. Your vegetables are going to clump up together. You didn’t it up. Don’t worry. It’s that flour. We’re making a r. Okay. Now, we’re going to pour in some water. I’m going to start with two cups. If we need to add more, we can. Going to stir this around and as it comes back to a boil, it’ll start to thicken up. Go ahead and throw some chicken bullion in mine. I’m also going to put in probably about a cup of cream. I was busy texting somebody back and I forgot to put in garlic. I was going to put that in with our vegetables before we added the flour, but uh we’ll just hit it with some garlic powder instead. And this is your soup, so put whatever you think sounds good in it. All right, our pot’s bubbling, so we’re going to put in some broccoli. This is one head of broccoli that I chopped up into little fuettes. Let’s cut it down to a simmer and we’ll cover it up. Just let it cook till that broccoli’s done. uh however you like it. It’s been about 15 minutes. I’m gonna cut the heat off and we’re going to grate in some cheddar cheese. This is one of the few times that I am going to encourage you to grate your own if you can do it. If you can’t and you just need to use a bag of pre-shredded cheese, it’s totally fine. It’s still going to taste great. I’m using sharp cheddar cuz that’s what I like. All right, that was about half that 8 oz block. And we’ll just stir this in till it’s melted. [Music] That is crazy good. And it was so easy. This took us half an hour to whip up. And you could very easily double everything in this and make a bigger pot. All right, y’all.
