For an even smoother texture, use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup before adding the cheddar cheese. Be careful not to over-blend, as you want to retain some broccoli texture. Adjust the amount of Cheddar cheese to your preference. For a sharper flavor, use extra-sharp cheddar. A pinch of nutmeg adds a subtle warmth that complements the cheese and broccoli beautifully. Garnish with croutons, a swirl of cream, or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an elegant presentation.
