This creamy Broccoli Cheese Soup is super cheesy and can be prepared quickly in just 30 minutes. It features chopped onions, flour, half and half, chicken broth, broccoli florets, and a blend of Velveeta and cheddar cheese for an indulgent taste.
1: Melt 6 tbsp butter in a large Dutch Oven over medium heat.
2: Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and starts to lightly brown.
3: Sprinkle the flour over the onion and gently whisk it with the butter and onion.
4: Cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw starchy flavor.
5: Slowly whisk in the half and half.
6: Once completely mixed in, pour in the chicken broth and whisk to remove lumps.
7: Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
8: Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the broccoli pieces.
9: Cook until the broccoli is tender; about 10 minutes.
10: Add the velveeta and 2 cups of cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until melted.
11: Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.
12: Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and garnish with parsley.
