# What You'll Need:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 4 cups chicken broth
02 - 1-2 tbsp butter
03 - 1 diced onion
04 - 3 minced garlic cloves
05 - 2 medium carrots, chopped small
06 - 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed into ½-inch pieces
07 - 16 oz broccoli florets (use fresh or frozen)

→ Thickening and Flavor

08 - ½ tsp salt
09 - ¼ tsp ground black pepper
10 - ¼ cup cornstarch
11 - 1 cup milk
12 - 1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Heat butter in a big pan or pot over medium heat. Toss in the onions and cook them for about 3 minutes until soft.
02 - Add in the carrots, season with pepper and salt, and let them cook for another 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
03 - Pour in the chicken broth and add the potato cubes. Cover the pot, bring it to a boil, then let it simmer for roughly 10 minutes.
04 - Once the potatoes are soft, throw in the broccoli florets. Keep simmering for another 10 minutes or until both the potatoes and broccoli are fork-tender.
05 - Stir the cornstarch into the milk in a small bowl until it’s fully mixed without lumps. Stir the mix into the hot soup to thicken it up.
06 - Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth.
07 - Scoop the soup into bowls and dig in while it’s still warm!

# Additional Notes:

01 - Make sure the soup cools completely before storing it in a sealed container. You can keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
