Cheesy Creamy Broccoli Soup

This creamy soup is packed with healthy vegetables like broccoli, leeks, and potatoes. Additionally, I added cheese to give it an extra layer of flavor.

The best part about this dish is how simple it is to make โ€“ no need to spend hours in the kitchen cooking up something complicated when all you really want is a hearty bowl of hot soup!

And, for a little kick of spicy heat, you can make my recipe for spicy creamy broccoli soup!

Furthermore, another great recipe, copycat street corn soup is a family favorite.

Ingredient Notes

  1. Olive oil.
  2. Leeks. Leeks add a nice alternative to onions in soups. They add a lot of flavors. If you don’t want to add leeks you can always sub onions.
  3. Garlic.
  4. Broccoli. – I use a complete broccoli head for this soup which totaled approximately 5 cups.
  5. Potatoes. In this application, I use potatoes to help thicken the broccoli soup without adding flour. I used smaller red potatoes because they become creamy with cooked down.
  6. Vegetable broth.
  7. Whole milk. You can use all milk but I like to add heavy cream and milk. Heavy cream adds so much flavor and creaminess to the soup that you can’t get from whole milk.
  8. Heavy cream.
  9. Cheddar. Any creamy cheese will pair nicely with broccoli. I’m particularly fond of cheddar and broccoli. It’s a classic combination.
  10. salt & peppermint
  11. Croutons. I have only just started adding croutons to broccoli soup. I like the nice crunch.
  12. Parsley and cheese for garnish. Don’t underestimate how much better-looking food is with garnishes.
