Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the broccoli and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and warm until steaming, but do not let it boil hard.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cheddar a handful at a time, stirring until each addition melts smoothly.
- Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, leaving some broccoli pieces whole for texture.
