Gluten-Free Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Ingredients:

4 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 cups gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (ensure it's gluten-free)
1 cup heavy cream
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Dash of ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions:

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Add the fresh broccoli florets to the pot and pour in the gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.

Use an immersion blender or a regular blender (in batches) to puree the soup until smooth.

Return the pureed soup to the pot and place it over low heat.

Stir in the grated sharp cheddar cheese and heavy cream. Continue to cook, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is heated through.

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Add a dash of ground nutmeg if desired for extra flavor.

Serve your Gluten-Free Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Soup hot, garnished with additional grated cheddar cheese if desired.
