Servings: persons

6 Tablespoons Butter, Unsalted
2 Celery Stalks, Chopped
1 Large Yellow Onion, Diced
2 Carrots, Peeled And Chopped
2 teaspoons Salt, Divided
1 teaspoon Pepper
1/3 cups Flour
1/2 gallons 2% Milk
1-1/2 Heads Broccoli, Cut Into Pieces
A Pinch Of Nutmeg
8 ounces, weight Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

1
In a large stockpot (I started with a 5-quart pot and ended up using a 9-quart pot), melt butter and add the celery, onions, carrots, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Saute on medium for 10 minutes or until they are tender.
2
Add the flour and stir to incorporate. Cook for 1 minute.
3
Add the milk, broccoli, nutmeg and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer covered for 30 minutes.
4
Next, using an immersion blender, blend the soup until all the broccoli is cut into teeny pieces and the soup is smooth-looking.
5
If you don't have an immersion blender, you may blend the soup in small batches in a regular blender or food processor. Be careful-it's hot.
6
Taste the soup at this point for seasonings and add more salt and pepper if needed. I used the remaining 1 teaspoon salt at this point.
7
Add the cheese and stir until it is melted and incorporated.
8
Serve with warm crusty French bread. Makes 8 large bowls.

Enjoy!
