Instructions
First, melt the butter in a pan. Add in diced onions and let them cook until they start getting soft.
Then add the carrots, salt, and pepper and cook for a few more minutes.
Next, add some minced garlic. It’s going to smell amazing!
Now, you will need the peeled and chopped potatoes. Add them in with some chicken stock. Cover it and let it simmer for about ten minutes.
Then add in the broccoli – fresh or frozen, your call. Let it all simmer until the broccoli and potatoes are tender.
I like to mix the cornstarch with the milk until it’s smooth, then pour that mix into the hot soup. It thickens things up, giving it that creamy texture we love.
The last step is adding the cheese. Add the shredded sharp Cheddar cheese into the soup and stir until melted.
