Instructions 

To begin, place your pot on the stove and heat up the tablespoons of butter. Once hot, add the onions and garlic then cook until soft and golden-coloured. Then add your potatoes and continue to stir and cook for a few more minutes.

Add in your stock and bring the soup to a soil. Add your broccoli and carrots, then reduce the soup to a shimmer.

Let the soup simmer for around 20 minutes or until both the potatoes and broccoli have softened.

Blend the mixture together, and then add in your cream and milk. Add in the seasoning and stir all the ingredients together.

Add in your cheese and continue to stir until fully incorporated, your creamy and cheesy broccoli soup is now ready to serve.
