Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 16 ounces broth (vegetable or chicken)
  • 16 ounces whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large head of broccoli (chopped into small florets)
  • 1 large carrot (grated)
  • 8 ounces smoked gouda (fresh grated)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add diced onions and cook until they begin to brown and turn translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic for another 30 seconds.
  2. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring continuously to form a roux; cook for about 1 minute until lightly browned.
  3. Gradually whisk in the broth and whole milk, ensuring no lumps form. Season with salt, paprika, and pepper.
  4. Stir in chopped broccoli florets and grated carrot. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for approximately 10 to 12 minutes until vegetables are tender but vibrant.
  5. Remove from heat and gradually stir in shredded smoked gouda until melted and fully integrated into the soup.
  6. Serve warm topped with croutons or garnished with fresh herbs.
