Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, diced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option)

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or plant-based cheese)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Croutons and fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Add Vegetables and Broth: Add the diced carrots and broccoli florets to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth, and season with dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the broccoli and carrots are tender.

      Blend the Soup: Once the vegetables are tender, remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend half of the soup and leave the rest as is.

        Add Cream and Cheese: Return the pot to low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

          Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, and if desired, top with croutons and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.
