Directions: |
Directions:In large soup pot or dutch oven, cook the onion and carrot in the butter and a couple of drizzles of olive oil. Cook over medium-high for 5 minutes or until softened and beginning to brown.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the chicken stock and broccoli florets to the pot. Sprinkle with additional salt and black pepper.
Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered until the broccoli is fork tender about 5-7 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until dissolved. Add the shredded cheddar cheese.
Stir over medium-low heat until combined. Dissolve 1/4 cup cornstarch in 2 cups of cold half & half until completely dissolved. Increase the heat then mix into the soup. Bring to a bubbling boil over medium-high stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
Cook just until thickened. If you prefer a thinner soup add more stock or half & half until the desired consistency is reached. Adjust the salt and pepper before serving.
