Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Melt the butter in a large pot. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 3–4 minutes, until softened. Sprinkle in the flour, stir well, then pour in the milk and broth.
Add the broccoli, salt, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Stir in the cheese and let it melt into the soup.
Tip: Shred the cheddar from a block and stir it in a handful at a time, letting each addition melt before adding more. This keeps the soup smooth and prevents the cheese from clumping on the bottom.
