High Protein Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Creamy and Nourishing High Protein Broccoli Cheddar Soup with a Cheesy Kick
Ingredients:
4 cups broccoli florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup low-fat milk
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for extra protein and creaminess)
1/2 cup cottage cheese (optional, for extra protein)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch (for thickening)
Salt and pepper to taste
Freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add broccoli florets and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
In a small bowl, whisk flour with milk until smooth. Slowly pour the mixture into the pot, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 5 minutes until the soup thickens.
Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth but still slightly chunky (or blend in batches in a blender).
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese until melted and fully combined. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if desired.
Heat gently if needed, but do not boil after adding cheese and yogurt to prevent curdling. Serve warm.
