Preparation
- In a pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the broccoli florets, coating them well with the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken or vegetable broth and milk to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Allow to cook for about 10 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
- Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it reaches your desired smoothness. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the mixture to a standard blender in batches.
- Once blended, mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and Greek yogurt until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Allow the soup to simmer for another 3-4 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute almond milk and dairy-free cheese, ensuring they are halal-compliant. To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat.
