heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Melt 1/2 stick of butter in a pot.

Finely chop the onion and sauté in the melted butter until translucent.

Grate 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese.

Chop broccoli into small florets, including the stalks.

Make a roux by adding flour to the sautéed onions and cooking for a minute.

Whisk in milk to the roux to create a cheese sauce base.

Add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, a little white pepper, hot sauce, and salt to the cheese sauce.

Bring the cheese sauce to a simmer and adjust thickness as needed.

Add grated cheddar cheese to the sauce and stir until melted.

Add matchstick carrots and chopped broccoli to the cheese sauce.

Pour in chicken broth to thin the mixture into soup.

Simmer until the broccoli is tender and the soup is velvety.

Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra cheese and pepper.
