Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 16 ounces broth (vegetable or chicken)
  • 16 ounces whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large head of broccoli (chopped into small florets)
  • 1 large carrot (grated)
  • 8 ounces smoked gouda (fresh grated)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add diced onions and sauté until they start to brown and become translucent, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  2. Add the all-purpose flour to the saucepan. Stir well to create a paste. Cook this mixture for about 1 minute to eliminate any raw flour taste.
  3. Gradually whisk in the broth and whole milk while stirring continuously. Add salt, paprika, and pepper to enhance flavor.
  4. Stir in the chopped broccoli florets and grated carrot. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking for about 10 to 12 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  5. Remove the soup from heat. Slowly add shredded smoked gouda cheese while stirring continuously until fully melted and incorporated.
  6. Ladle your warm smoked gouda broccoli soup into bowls and top with croutons if desired. Enjoy this comforting dish!
