1
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When hot, add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent.
2
Add the broccoli florets to the pot, followed by the low sodium chicken broth, heavy cream, ground mustard, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well.
3
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the broccoli is very tender.
4
Now, instead of transferring the soup to a blender, we’ll use an immersion blender right in the pot to blend the soup until smooth. This avoids dealing with hot soup in a blender.
5
Once blended to desired consistency, add the grated sharp cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese to the soup. Stir well until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
6
Serve the soup hot. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of extra grated cheese for even more delight.
