  • 1 1/3 cups chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 1/2 cups peeled and cubed russet potatoes
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk (preferably 1% or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chicken broth, cubed potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Add the chopped broccoli florets to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes until tender.
  5. In a separate saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for about one minute while stirring constantly.
  6. Slowly add milk to the roux while whisking vigorously until smooth. Continue cooking until thickened before stirring in heavy cream.
  7. Pour the thickened cream mixture into the vegetable broth mixture and stir until combined.
  8. Remove from heat and mix in shredded cheddar cheese and parmesan until melted. Serve warm.
