Ingredient Notes

  • Cooking Oil: You can use any neutral cooking oil like olive oil, canola, avocado, or vegetable oil.
  • White Onion: White onions have a sharper flavor, but yellow onions also work.
  • Garlic: Freshly minced garlic provides the best flavor, but jarred minced garlic works in a pinch.
  • Vegetable Broth: Using a low-sodium option allows you to best control the flavor. It’s a great chef tip. You can also use chicken broth.
  • Heavy Cream: You can substitute with half-and-half, though the dish may be less creamy and thick.
  • Broccoli Florets: Fresh broccoli gives a better, firm texture but frozen broccoli florets work too.
  • Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Freshly shredded melts better than pre-shredded cheese, which contains additives to prevent clumping.

Switch Things Up

Cheese: While this recipe is for cheddar broccoli soup, you can customize your soup by using a different type of cheese. If you’re looking to mix things up, opt for cheese with the same sharpness that you find in cheddar. Our top picks are: Velveeta, parmesan, white cheddar, or Monterey Jack.

Vegetables: You can easily add in some more veggies along with the broccoli. Asparagus or mushrooms are both great options that are easy to throw in.

Protein: Add some protein to this soup with some leftover shredded chicken or ham. Leftovers are a great option to beef up your soup, or you can always use a rotisserie chicken or pick up some diced ham from the grocery store.

Serving Suggestions

This cheese and broccoli soup is tasty and filling on its own, but if you’re looking for ways to round out your meal, you can serve it alongside crackers (homemade or store-bought) or bread like our homemade breadsticks, French baguette, or garlic bread 

Another classic is to serve this soup with a baked potato. You ladel on the soup and top with even more shredded cheddar and a dollop of sour cream.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Cool the soup to room temperature before transferring it to containers for storage.

Refrigerate in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.

To freeze, transfer to an airtight freezer container or a resealable freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible and freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheat on the stove over medium heat, adding a little water or broth if necessary to adjust consistency.

Reheat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between each for even heating.
