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.
