Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 1/2 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 1/3 cups chopped carrots (about 3)
  • 1 cup chopped celery (2 stalks)
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (1 small)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 1/2 cups peeled and cubed russet potatoes, cut 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick (2 large)
  • 3 cups chopped broccoli florets (from about 2 heads)
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk (preferably 1% or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (8 oz)
  • 1/3 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese (1 oz)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped carrots, celery, and onion; sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Then add minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in low-sodium chicken broth, peeled cubed russet potatoes, dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  5. Add chopped broccoli florets to the pot; cook for an additional 5 minutes until tender.
  6. In a separate saucepan, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Whisk in all-purpose flour; cook for about one minute while stirring constantly.
  7. Slowly add milk while whisking until no lumps remain. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly, then stir in heavy cream before removing from heat.
  8. Pour the thickened mixture into the soup; stir well to combine everything thoroughly.
  9. Remove from heat again; mix in shredded sharp cheddar cheese and finely shredded parmesan cheese until melted.
