Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup 2% milk or whole milk
  • 3-1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 broccoli crowns or 1 medium broccoli head, stems removed and chopped into florets (about 4 cups florets)
  • 1 cup coarsely grated carrots
  • 2-1/2 cups (8 ounces) grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch Oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook 3-4 minutes, until golden. Gradually whisk in the cream and milk until smooth.
  • Add the chicken stock and bay leaves, season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook uncovered until thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the broccoli and carrots and continue cooking over low heat an additional 20 minutes, or until broccoli and carrots are tender.
  • If desired, puree in a blender in batches, and then return to the pot. (I dont do this)
  • Add the cheese and nutmeg and stir over low heat until cheese has melted.
  • Serve hot with crusty bread and enjoy!
