This is a vitamix recipe rendered a bit! I’ll explain how to do this in a soup blender or regular old fashioned in a pot! Either way it’s so delicious and my favorite quick healthy soup!
Equipment
- 1 vitamix ORRRRR
- 1 Large pot
Ingredients
- 1, 16 oz bag of frozen broccoli if you are using fresh, about 2-3 cups
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1/3 bouillon cube
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup water Use chicken or vegetable broth if not using a blender.
- 1/2 c shredded sharp cheddar
Instructions
- Directions:For the blender: Microwave broccoli with 1 tbsp of water for 5 minutes (you can use a large glass dish and cover with saran wrap). Add the steamed broccoli with water into the blender then cheese, bouillon onion powder, water and milk. You can reserve a few florets for the end! Start at a low setting and then increase to the highest setting (for mine it's the soup setting) for about 6 minutes until steaming hot. Make sure you cover the top with a wet cloth.
- For the pot: Add the broccol to a large pot with about 1/2c chicken broth and steam for about 5 minutes covered. Add milk and broth and use a hand blender to blend all ingredients. Once they are smooth turn up the heat for minutes. Add cheese and onion powder. Add more broth for desired consistency.
