How to Make Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, allowing it to foam slightly.
Add the chopped onion, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper; cook for about 5 minutes until the onion is softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour while whisking continuously for about 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk or almond milk until fully combined, then add the vegetable broth, chopped broccoli florets, diced carrot, and Dijon mustard; stir until well mixed.
Let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Gradually mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until it melts into the soup.
Adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed, and serve hot.
