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 butter. Add the diced onion and cook until they begin to brown and turn translucent, which should take about 4 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  2. Add the all-purpose flour to the saucepan. Stir continuously to create a paste, allowing it to cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Slowly pour in the vegetable or chicken broth along with whole milk. Whisk thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients. Then, add salt, paprika, and pepper.
  4. Next, add the chopped broccoli and grated carrot to the pot. Stir well to combine everything and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the saucepan, reduce heat to low, and let it cook for about 10 to 12 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  5. Remove the soup from heat once the vegetables are cooked to your liking. Gradually add in the shredded smoked gouda while stirring continuously until fully melted into a creamy consistency.
  6. Serve warm topped with croutons for added texture and crunch.
