Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 2 large carrots peeled and diced
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3 cups vegetable broth I like the not-chicken style
  • 4 cups chopped broccoli
  • 2 cups 1% milk
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese shredded about 1 cup
  • 1 cup low fat cottage cheese blended
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  2. Add the onion carrot and celery and cook for 10 minutes stirring frequently.
  3. Add the garlic and continue to cook over medium heat for one minute.
  4. Add the smoked paprika and flour and cook for one minute stirring until the vegetables are coated with flour.
  5. Add the broth and broccoli and bring to a simmer.
  6. Simmer the broccoli for 8-9 minutes until softened.
  7. Add the milk and cook over low heat until the soup is warm.
  8. Add the blended cottage cheese and shredded cheese and stir until melted. Be careful not to turn the heat up too high or the milk will curdle.
