Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 1/2 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 1/3 cups chopped carrots (about 3)
  • 1 cup chopped celery (2 stalks)
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (1 small)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 1/2 cups peeled and cubed russet potatoes (cut 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick; about 2 large)
  • 3 cups chopped broccoli florets (from about 2 heads)
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk (preferably 1% or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (8 oz)
  • 1/3 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese (1 oz)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt half the butter over medium heat. Sauté chopped carrots, celery, and onion for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth, cubed potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  3. Stir in broccoli florets and cook for 5 minutes until bright green.
  4. In a separate saucepan, melt remaining butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute; gradually add milk while whisking to remove lumps. Cook until thickened, then stir in heavy cream off the heat.
  5. Combine the creamy mixture with the soup pot and mix in cheddar and parmesan cheeses until melted.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy!
