For a deeper, more complex flavor, use a combination of aged and smoked Gouda. If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the broccoli. Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your desired consistency. For a thicker soup, use less milk; for a thinner soup, use more. Freshly grated nutmeg is essential for the best flavor. Pre-ground nutmeg will not have the same aroma or taste. Garnish with toasted croutons or a drizzle of truffle oil for an extra touch of elegance.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
02
StepSprinkle the flour over the softened onions, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the flour is fully incorporated and lightly toasted.
03
StepGradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
04
StepReduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Gouda cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
05
StepWhile the cheese is melting, steam or microwave the chopped broccoli florets until they are tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
06
StepGently fold the steamed broccoli into the soup. Season with freshly grated nutmeg, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
07
StepLadle the soup into bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra grated Gouda or a swirl of cream, if desired.
