Gluten-Free Broccoli Cheese Soup

Recipe by Eric Jones

Gluten-Free Broccoli Cheese Soup is a perfect combination of cheese and broccoli, perfect for enjoying on its own or with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side!


  • Total Time20 minutes
  • Yield4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 11 oz yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 tsp minced garlic
  • 16 oz broccoli florets
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Chop the onions and broccoli (if needed), and shred the cheese. Set to the side.
  2. Heat a large pot or Dutch Oven (paid link) over medium heat. Add the butter and chopped onions. Cook the onions for 7-10 minutes, until tender and translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic, broccoli, chicken stock, heavy cream, and seasonings. Stir. Allow to cook for 10-15 minutes, until the broccoli reaches your desired texture.
  4. Using a potato masher (paid link), smash all ingredients in the pot. If you used only the broccoli florets, you can skip this step. Remove the pot from the heat, or reduce the heat to a simmer.
  5. Add the cheese and the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch + water), stirring until smooth, and all ingredients are combined.
  6. To serve, place the soup in a bowl and top with pieces of cooked broccoli and shredded cheese.
