Ingredients
  

2 cups broccoli florets

2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup milk (or plant-based milk for a dairy-free option)

1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Cook the Vegetables: Stir in the diced potatoes and broccoli florets. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften.

      Add Broth & Seasoning: Pour in the vegetable broth and add the dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

        Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches.)

          Add Milk & Cheese: Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy your comforting and cheesy broccoli potato soup!
