Next, add the broccoli florets and stir to combine with the onions and garlic. Pour in the broth and bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the broccoli is tender. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the soup until creamy. Then, add the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the soup is perfectly smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg for that extra warmth. If you want a thicker consistency, whisk in the flour. Serve with crusty bread or croutons, and get ready to enjoy one of the most satisfying soups you’ll ever make.
