This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains very little actual cream. The second time I steamed the broccoli, while sautéing conions and celery in the butter. When making the roux, i added both the broth and the cream and when thick, i added sharp cheddar cheese and whisked until smooth. My easy Broccoli Soup is a simple Cream of Broccoli Soup that's thick and creamy with an extra hit of flavour from cheddar cheese! Don't forget warm crusty bread for dunking!
