Recipe View Simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

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.
