A bowl of creamy broccoli cheddar soup with melted cheese on top

Stir the cheese in off the heat so it melts smooth, not clumpy.

How to make it

Cook the onion. Melt the butter in a big pot, add the onion, and cook till soft, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and flour. Stir in the garlic, then the flour, and cook 1 minute, stirring.
Pour in the liquids. Pour in the broth and milk slowly, stirring so no lumps form.
Add the broccoli. Add the broccoli and cook about 15 minutes, till soft.
Mash a little. Mash some of the broccoli with a masher right in the pot, or leave it chunky if you like it that way.
Melt the cheese. Turn the heat low and stir in the cheese a handful at a time till melted. Add salt and pepper, then serve.
