ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups broccoli, cut into florets
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and broken into bits (optional)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese for garnish

instructions

1.  In a large soup pot, saute the garlic in butter for 1 minute over medium heat.

2.  Add the broth, heavy cream, and chopped broccoli. Increase heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, until broccoli is tender.

3.  Add the shredded cheddar cheese gradually, stirring constantly, and continue to stir until melted. Make sure to keep it at a very low simmer and avoid high heat, to prevent seizing. As soon as the cheese is entirely melted, remove the pot from the heat.

4.  Add the soup to a blender and pulse several times until you reach the desired consistency.

5.  Serve in bowls with shredded cheese and bacon bits sprinkled on top.
