Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 12 ounces)
3 cups chicken stock
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed and softened

Directions

In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat butter over medium heat; saute onion and garlic until tender, 6-8 minutes. Stir in broccoli, stock, cream, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are tender, 10-12 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, puree soup until some broccoli is in small pieces, leaving some broccoli florets whole. Or, cool soup slightly and puree 2 cups in a blender. Return to pan.
Over low heat, stir in cheddar cheese and cream cheese until melted. If desired, garnish with additional cheddar cheese.
