Ingredients

  • 4 cups broccoli florets and trimmed stems
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons dried marjoram
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup unbleached flour
  • 2 cups whole or 2% milk
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Steam broccoli florets and stems in a pot until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onions, marjoram, salt and pepper until slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add flour to make a roux. Sauté until the flour is evenly combined and slightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add milk and stock. Mix well and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer until soup thickens. Add steamed broccoli and turn off heat.

Place soup in a blender or food processor and blend until the desired consistency is achieved. Pour soup back into the pot and add cheese, mixing until cheese is melted.
