Broccoli & Cheddar Soup

Ingredients

1 diced yellow onion
4 tbsp butter
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp granulated chicken bouillon
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
Garlic & herb seasoning
¼ cup all-purpose flour
32 oz chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded carrots
4 cups cooked & chopped broccoli florets
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onions and cook until the onions are caramelized and fragrant.
Stir in the granulated chicken bouillon, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, salt, and garlic & herb seasoning.
Sprinkle the flour into the mixture and stir well to form a roux, cooking for about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the shredded carrots and chopped broccoli florets. Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the soup has thickened to your liking.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and incorporated, creating a creamy, cheesy texture.
Serve hot, garnished with additional shredded cheddar cheese. For an extra special presentation, serve in bread bowls for that extra touch of comfort.
