Ingredients:
– 2 cups of chopped vegetables (carrots, celery, onion)
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
– 1 cup of heavy cream
– 2 cups of shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyere, or a blend)
– 1 tablespoon of flour
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. This will help thicken the soup.
3. Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
4. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth. Be careful when blending hot liquids, as they can splatter. If using a regular blender, blend in batches and return the mixture to the pot.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese until melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes to let the flavors come together.
7. Serve hot with your favorite bread or garnish with additional shredded cheese and chopped vegetables.
