Ingredients:

- 4 tablespoons butter

- 1 medium onion, diced

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 4 cups broccoli florets (about 1 large head of broccoli)

- 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)

- 1 cup heavy cream

- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

- Salt and pepper, to taste

- Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for 5 minutes.

4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat.

5. Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, and bring to a boil.

6. Reduce heat and simmer until the broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes.

7. Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches), blend the soup until smooth.

8. Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and dried thyme. Cook over low heat until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.

9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives.
