Instructions

  • Cut your broccoli into 1 - 2 inch chunks.
  • Remove the tough outer layer from the stalk and cut this as well.
  • Boil your broccoli in a large pot until it’s tender but still has a bite to it.
  • While you boil your broccoli, dice your sweet onion.
  • After dicing your onion, add the onion to 4 tbsp of butter in a large pot on medium heat.
  • Drain the broccoli and set aside.
  • Once the onion is soft and translucent, add in the garlic, and stir.
  • Next, pour in the broth and milk.
  • Add in the sour cream, and whisk.
  • Stirring constantly, slowly add the cheese.
  • Keep stirring until all of the cheese has melted.
  • Add the broccoli and shredded carrot.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour 1 cup of cold water and 1 ½ tbsp of cornstarch into a glass measuring cup.
  • Mix thoroughly.
  • Add 1 more tablespoon of cornstarch at a time to this mixture until your mixture is thick but still liquid.
  • Slowly pour the mixture into your hot soup, stirring constantly.
  • Add cornstarch mixture until your soup has reached the desired consistency.
  • Cook soup for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
