Creamy Potato, Broccoli And Cheese Soup
- The soup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onio
- 1 small carrot
- 1 garlic clove
- 600 grams potato
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 1 liter vegetable broth
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup grated cheese of personal choice (I use cheddar and pecorino)
- Bechamel sauce
- 50 grams butter
- 50 grams flour
- 600 milliliters milk
- In a large pot heat the oil. Add the chopped carrot and onion and cook over medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the potatoes that has been cut into small pieces, the broccoli florets and stir.
- Cover with vegetable broth, add a pinch of salt, pepper, nutmeg and stir. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil.
- Lift the lid and cook over medium heat for another 20 - 25 minutes or until the potatoes have become very soft.
- While the soup is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour and mix well. Continue to cook over medium heat - low for another 2 minutes being careful not to burn the mixture. Begin to add the milk, stirring well each time. I recommend using the whisk to make sure that you remove all the lumps of flour. When all the milk is combined, add a pinch of salt and pepper and cook over medium - low heat for another 5 minutes.
- Add the sauce to the soup and stir well. Cook for another few minutes.
- Turn off the heat. Before serving, add a cup of grated cheese and stir. Serve hot
