Ingredients

2.5 cup chopped broccoli
3 ounce shredded carrots
1/2 diced onion
3 clove chopped garlic sub for 1 TB minced garlic
2 tablespoon butter
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 ounce full fat cream cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 112g weighed out

Instructions

Dice onion and chop up broccoli as fine as you'd like. I chopped roughly in this recipe
In a large pot on medium high heat add butter and diced onion. Once fragrant add in chopped garlic. Note, in the video I used chopped garlic. I now feel grating the garlic over the soup before covering with a lid is the best method.
Pour in chicken broth, lower the heat and bring to a simmer. Add in cream cheese and heavy cream.
Add in chopped broccoli and carrots and bring to a simmer then cover. Check in every few minutes to make sure it's a slow simmer and to check the tenderness of broccoli.
Once broccoli is tender toss in shredded cheese and mix in until all melted. Season with salt and white pepper. Taste for seasoning then serve while hot.
