Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Tip: Don't let the garlic burn - it will turn bitter
  2. Add broccoli, cauliflower, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until vegetables are very tender. Tip: Cover the pot to speed up cooking
  3. Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth (or carefully transfer to a blender in batches). Tip: Leave some texture if you prefer a chunkier soup
  4. Return to low heat. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted, then whisk in Greek yogurt. Season with paprika, nutmeg (if using), salt, and pepper. Tip: Add cheese gradually to prevent clumping
