Why this works

Five ingredients and pure comfort. Finely chopped broccoli is softened in butter, simmered in cream and broth until thick, then sharp cheddar goes in a little at a time until it's smooth and velvety. It's from our soup-for-every-cold-night post.

Method

01
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
02
Add the broccoli and cook for about 5 minutes, until tender.
03
Pour in the cream and broth, stirring. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring now and then, until it thickens.
04
Turn the heat to low. Keep a small handful of cheese back, then add the rest a little at a time, stirring the whole time, until smooth.
05
Pour into four bowls and top with the cheese you kept back.

Good to know

Low heat for the cheese. High heat makes cheddar turn grainy.

Vegetarian? Use vegetable broth, as the recipe allows.

Leftovers keep for 3 days. Reheat gently and stir.
