Broccoli and Cheddar Soup (In A Soup Maker)

If you’re looking for a quick and nutritious soup to make, broccoli and cheddar soup is the perfect choice.

Maybe it’s the fact that it’s a green soup, but it definitely makes me feel like I’m filling myself up with lots of goodness.

Melting some cheese into it at the end makes it super delicious too!

How To Make Broccoli And Cheese Soup In A Soup Maker

This soup can be made in any soup maker. I have made it in both the Morphy Richards, as well as the Ninja Soup Maker.

The measurements for this recipe are for the Ninja which has a capacity of 1.4L – you can increase or decrease the quantities according to the size of your soup maker.

Remember, the more ingredients you put in, the thicker it will be. If it is too thick at the end you can add some hot water or stock to thin it out, or, if it is too thick you can stir in some instant potato granules or extra cheese.

raw ingredients laid out for broccoli and cheddar cheese soup

Broccoli – I used about 300g of fresh broccoli, florets and stalk. If you only have frozen broccoli you can use that too, just double check that your soup maker can take frozen ingredients (some may damage the blades/motor).

Potato – this was added to make the soup a little thicker. I just added 1 medium potato, I just scrubbed it clean and chopped it up – no need to peel it, unless you really want to.

Onion & Garlic – If you have a Ninja you can just quarter the onions and peel the garlic, pop them in the jug and select the ‘chop’ button – the blender will chop them up smaller for you.

Stock – you can use chicken or vegetable stock, either from a cube or stock pot, or your own homemade stock. I’ve started to use the buillon powder by Marigold, usually by adding 3 tsp straight to the soup maker and then topping up to the MAX line with hot water.or and then filled up the soup maker to the MAX line with hot boiled water.

Cheese – leave this until the end of the soup making cycle. I tend to use cheddar as we always have that in the fridge – but you can use your favourite cheese, Stilton always tastes amazing in a broccoli soup!

Making It

If your soup maker has an inbuilt sauté function (the Ninja and some of the Morphy Richards models have this) you can lightly fry the onion and garlic in a little oil or butter first, but it’s not essential.

Add all the ingredients, apart from the cheese, to the soup maker. Don’t forget to include the stalks of the broccoli, all of it can be added. Don’t worry if the ingredients come above the MAX line, as long as the water/liquid stays below it.

Set the soup maker off on smooth.

At the end of the soup maker cycle carefully remove the lid and add the grated cheese. I added 150g of grated cheese and then put the lid back on before blending the soup for about 10 seconds.

After serving the soup I also like to sprinkle some more cheese on top.

When the cheese has been sprinkled into the hot soup, stir it round until it is all melted. When cheese has been melted in a hot soup it tastes so good, especially if you are dunking in some bread too. Yum.
