Broccoli –Cheese Soup

I was in the mood for soup, so I made this broccoli and cheese soup for lunch yesterday. Not what I would call a traditional weekend lunch in my house, but it was delicious. It is also simple and easy to make. I hope you enjoy it too.

Ingredients
(4 servings)

2 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup diced onion
1 pound broccoli florets
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon paprika
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

1. In a medium pot over medium-high heat add the olive oil and onion. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 2 minutes.

2. Add the broth, cream, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 12 to 15 minutes.

3. Transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer back to the pot and add the cheese. Stir to combine and cook for about 5 more minutes. Adjust the seasoning and serve warm.
