TOTAL TIME
1
In a large dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
2
Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in the melted butter until softened; this should take about 4-5 minutes.
3
Include the frozen cubed potatoes, low-sodium chicken broth, and kosher salt in the dutch oven, then bring to a boil. After reaching a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer.
4
Simmer until the potatoes are tender enough to easily pierce with a fork. This should take approximately 10-12 minutes.
5
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup base to your preferred consistency. If you prefer, you can also use a potato masher leaving some chunks of potato.
6
With the soup base at a simmer, add the broccoli florets. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the broccoli still retains a slight crunch.
7
Pour in the whole milk and heavy cream, then gradually stir in the flour-coated cheddar cheese. Ensure each portion of cheese is fully melted before adding the next.
8
Season your soup with freshly ground black pepper, then adjust the salt to taste if necessary.
