A Smooth Broccoli Cheddar Soup Base for Your Week

This freezer-friendly smooth broccoli cheddar soup is designed for busy professionals who value structure over speed. One calm Sunday prep gives you three effortless meals—no decision fatigue, no weeknight stress. Just nourishing comfort when you need it.

What You'll Need

• 600g broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
• 750ml vegetable stock
• 200ml whole milk
• 150g mature cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp butter
• Pinch of nutmeg
• Sea salt & black pepper

The Method

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add potato cubes and broccoli florets. Pour in vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until vegetables are very tender. Use a hand blender to blend until completely smooth. Stir in milk and grated cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Add nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

✨ Optional: Extra Creaminess

For a richer finish: add 50ml double cream after blending for an even silkier, more indulgent texture.

How to Freeze & Store

Cool the soup completely. Portion into large silicone soup cube trays for structured, calm weeknights (each cube holds about 1.5-2 cups, perfect for single servings). Freeze overnight. Once solid, pop out cubes and transfer to labeled freezer bags. Store up to 3 months.

Shelf life: 3 months frozen | 4 days refrigerated

How to Use During the Week

Thaw one soup cube overnight in the fridge, then reheat gently in a pot, stirring occasionally. Serve with crusty sourdough, wholegrain bread, or crispy croutons for added texture.

Other ways to use:

• Top with extra grated cheddar and crispy bacon
• Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches
• Drizzle with truffle oil for elegance
• Add cooked pasta for a heartier meal
