Broccoli Cheese Soup In Soup Maker Ingredients

• 300g fresh broccoli
• 1 medium potato (approx. 150g), peeled and chopped
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 800ml chicken or vegetable stock (adjust to MAX line)

How To Make Broccoli Cheese Soup In A Soup Maker

1. Load the soup maker: Add broccoli, potato, onion, garlic, and stock into your soup maker jug. Do not exceed the MAX fill line.
2. Start cooking: Select the “smooth soup” function and let the machine run through the full cycle (usually around 30 minutes).
3. Add cheese: When the soup cycle finishes, carefully open the lid and add the grated cheddar cheese directly into the jug.
4. Blend to finish: Use the manual blend setting for about 10 seconds to fully incorporate the cheese into the soup.
5. Serve: Pour the soup into bowls. For extra cheesiness, stir in additional grated cheese and season to taste.

Recipe Tips

• Can I use frozen broccoli? Yes, but fresh gives the best texture and flavor.
• How to make it extra creamy: Add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream after blending.
• Best cheese for flavor: A sharp cheddar gives the soup a bold, cheesy taste. You can also mix in some Parmesan.
• Can I use cauliflower instead? Yes, substitute half the broccoli with cauliflower for a twist.
• Add protein: Stir in cooked chicken or white beans for a protein boost.

How To Store Broccoli Cheese Soup
