Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and garlic, sauté until softened.
Add broccoli florets and continue to sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stir well to coat.
Gradually add vegetable broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until broccoli is fork tender.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer the soup to a blender in batches.
Return the soup to low heat. Gradually stir in milk and cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
