- Select fresh broccoli: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, vibrant green broccoli. Frozen broccoli can be used in a pinch, but fresh broccoli will provide a better texture.
- Blend to desired consistency: Depending on your preference, you can blend the soup until completely smooth, or leave some chunks of broccoli and potato for added texture.
- Cheese choice: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. While cheddar is classic, a mix of sharp cheddar and Gruyère can add a depth of flavor.
- Season to taste: Make sure to taste your soup before serving and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed for the perfect flavor.
- Add a touch of cream: For an extra creamy soup, you can replace the milk with heavy cream or add a dollop of sour cream before serving.
- Garnish with prosciutto: Crisp up the prosciutto slices by baking or pan-frying them. Crumble over the soup just before serving for a delightful crunchy garnish.
This broccoli and cheese soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that's sure to become a family favorite. The combination of tender broccoli, creamy potatoes, and melted cheddar cheese creates a rich and satisfying flavor.
