Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add one diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Incorporate 1 cup of chopped carrots along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add 2 cups of diced potatoes and 4 cups of chicken stock. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Introduce 2 cups of broccoli florets to the mix and simmer uncovered for an additional 5-7 minutes.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of cornstarch with 1 cup of milk until smooth. Gradually stir into the soup and cook for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  7. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  8. Remove from heat and serve hot, perhaps alongside a slice of crusty bread.
