Ingredients (8 servings)

Unsalted butter 2 tbsp

Celery stalks, diced 3 pieces

Onion, diced 1 piece

Russet potato, peeled and diced 1 piece

Vegetable broth 4 cups

Salt 1/4 tsp

Pepper 1/4 tsp

Chopped broccoli (including stems) 6 cups

Shredded cheddar (for serving) 1/2 cup

Water 2 cups

Chicken (optional) 3 pieces

Preparation

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the celery, onion, and potato for about 4 minutes, until they begin to soften. Add the broth, 4 cups (1 liter) of water, salt, and pepper.

Bring just to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potato is tender. Add the broccoli. Continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes, until it is tender enough to be pierced with a fork.

Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth. Divide the soup among 8 bowls and serve each portion garnished with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of cheddar.

Chef's Notes & Tips

For a creamier texture, you can add a little cream or coconut milk at the end. You can also use an immersion blender directly in the pot.
