FULL RECIPE:
Submerge the veggies in the chicken or veggie stock and pour it in.
Simmer the mixture after bringing it to a boil. Make sure the potatoes are fork-tender by cooking them for around 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Puree the Soup: Puree the soup in the pot using an immersion blender until it’s smooth.
To get a chunkier texture, puree half of the soup while retaining some potato and broccoli chunks.
If you’re using a regular blender, pour the soup in stages and mix until smooth. Then, pour the blended soup back into the pot.
4. When ready, add the cheese and heavy cream by stirring until completely combined.
While stirring constantly, slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and the soup becomes creamy.
Add salt, pepper, and paprika according to your preference.
5. Spoon the soup into individual dishes and top with garnishes. Top with anything you like:
Extra cheese, crumbled
To add crunch, croutons
For an invigorating, modern twist, chopped chives
Ingredients and Methods:
Takes around fifteen minutes to prepare.
Half an hour for cooking

Recipe Suggestions for the Finest Soup:
Deciding on the Perfect Cheese: If you want the greatest taste, choose sharp cheddar. Instead of using pre-shredded cheese, try grating it fresh if you can. It will melt more evenly.
Save the broccoli stalks for something else! Before using them with the florets, peel and cube them.
Put an End to Meat Eating: You may make this soup suitable for vegetarians by substituting veggie stock for the chicken broth.
If you want it very hot, add some red chili flakes or cayenne.
Recommendation for Serving: Toss in some warm baguette or crusty bread to dip into the soup.
To complete the meal, serve with a crisp side salad.
