@strawberrilifestyle: RECIPE BELOW Ingredients 1½ cups broccoli ¼ cup butter ½ cup chopped onions 2 tablespoons garlic ½ cup grated carrots ¼ cup flour 2 cups chicken stock 1 cup half-and-half 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese ¼ cup sour cream ½ cup cooked bacon Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste. 1. Roast the broccoli. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet, season with salt, pepper, and a little olive oil if desired, and roast for 15–20 minutes until tender and lightly browned. 2. Cook the bacon. Cook the bacon until crispy, then chop it into small pieces and set aside. 3. Sauté the vegetables. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onions and grated carrots and cook until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30–60 seconds. 4. Make the roux. Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. 5. Add the chicken stock. Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring until the soup begins to thicken. 6. Add the seasonings. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste. Stir well. 7. Add the half-and-half. Pour in the half-and-half and stir until combined. Allow the soup to warm gently without bringing it to a hard boil. 8. Add the roasted broccoli. Stir the roasted broccoli into the soup. Break up some of the broccoli with a spoon if you prefer a thicker texture. 9. Add the cheddar cheese. Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. 10. Stir in the sour cream. Add the sour cream and stir until fully incorporated. Keep the heat low to prevent the soup from curdling. 11. Finish with bacon. Stir in the cooked bacon, reserving a little for garnish if desired. 12. Serve. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra cheddar cheese and crispy bacon. Serve warm. #creatorsearchinsights #broccolicheddarsoup #cozyrecipes #FoodTok #soupseason
