Bahan-bahan

6 porsi

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, (chopped)
3 cloves garlic, (smashed and peeled (see note))
1¾ pounds broccoli, (stems cut into ½-in (13-cm) pieces/florets cut into 1-in (2.5-cm) pieces, separated)
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups shredded good-quality medium or sharp Cheddar cheese, (such as Cabot (from one 8-oz block))

Langkah-langkah

Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes; do not brown. Add the broccoli stems, broth, water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until the stems are partially cooked, about 10 minutes. Stir in the broccoli florets, cream, and nutmeg, and continue cooking until the florets are tender, about 5 minutes.
Using a hand-held immersion blender, purée the soup until completely smooth. (Alternatively, cool the soup slightly and use a blender to purée in batches. Be sure to remove the center knob on the blender and cover with a dishtowel to avoid splatters.) Add 1½ cups (170 g) of the cheese and stir until melted. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
