Quick tip before starting
It’s very important that you monitor the heat when making this recipe. Having the heat too high can cause burning at the bottom of the pan. To add, cooking dairy products with too much heat can cause them to curdle and this will destroy the texture of the soup, not so much the taste.

- Next, sauté the onion, garlic and carrots together until everything is soft and fragrant. Then, add in butter and allow it to melt. Lower the heat to medium.
- Now, once the butter is melted add in the flour and cook the flour for about 30 seconds to make a roux.
- Then, slowly pour in the milk then the the chicken broth. Carefully add the chopped broccoli on top and mix it in.
- Bring the soup to a very light simmer then lower the heat to medium low and cover the pot for 5 minutes to cook the broccoli.
- Now, once the broccoli is done add in the cheeses and mix until everything has melted.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why is my broccoli cheese soup clumpy?
Heat is the enemy of dairy when cooking. This is why dairy products are normally added at the very end of the recipe. Clumpy cheddar soup is a sign of too much heat and it cause curdling of the dairy products. As mentioned about this doesn’t effect the taste but it destroys the texture.
How do you keep the soup from separating?
The flour helps bind everything together which is why the roux was made. But, another key is to not use pre-shredded cheese. There is a non-caking agent that will not allow the cheese to stick together or melt together properly. This could also result in a grainy texture in the soup.
