Ingredients
  

  • 1 Large Head of Broccoli
  • 2 Carrots, shredded
  • 1 medium Onion, Diced
  • 2 Celery Stalks, diced
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 4 tbsp AP Flour
  • 2 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 3 cups Vegetable or Chicken Broth
  • 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3/4 cup 2% Milk
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prep work:
    Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets. Skin and shred the carrots. Dice the onion and celery. Shred the cheddar.
  • Into a large pot, melt butter and then add the onion and celery. Saute until the vegetables have softened a bit.
  • Then add in the flour and cook the flour out for a few minutes. Using a whisk, slowly add in the broth, whishing continuously so no lumps form. Then add the milk and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Then add the broccoli and carrots. Allow to simmer until the broccoli is fork tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Once the broccoli is fork tender, add in the cheddar cheese and stir until it has completely melted. Turn off the heat once the cheese has melted.
  • Serve with a crusty piece of bread and enjoy!
