    I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t like broccoli and cheese soup. Well turns out it’s super easy to make! Enjoy!

    in a pot big enough to make soup combine 1 diced onion, 2 chopped carrots, and 2 chopped celery stalks over low/med heat. coat with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, fresh garlic, and cayenne pepper

    once everything is soft - not mushy - put enough chicken broth in pot to just cover all of the ingredients and add a medium sized head of broccoli. cook for another 5 minutes or so.

    once the broccoli is soft, mix everything together with a hand blender (a regular blender works too but i like having a hand blender). blend until you get to a consistency you like. i like to leave it a bit chunky

    add 1/4 cup of heavy cream (more if you like really creamy soups). you can also add more chicken broth if you like soupier soups

    now for the best part - the cheese! add i small block of velveta (yes, velveta!) and a block the same size of white cheddar. to make the cheese melt fast, cut the cheese into 1 inch cubes

    cook until the cheese has all melted - about 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes to help the cheese melt

    once everything has melted - enjoy!
