Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 lbs broccoli (stalks peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices, florets chopped into 1/2 inch pieces)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
3 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese (plus extra for garnish )
salt
cayenne pepper

Directions:

Melt the butter in a big pot over medium heat.
Add in onion; cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the broccoli stalks and cook until bright green and just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the broth; increase heat to med-high and simmer until the stalks are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the florets, cream, and nutmeg; simmer until the florets are tender, about 5 minutes.
Puree the soup in two batches in a blender until smooth; return to the pot, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Stir in the cheese until melted and season with salt and cayenne.
Serve, garnished with extra cheese (the soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat over medium heat until hot, but do not boil or the cheese will separate).
