For best results, warm it in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until it&#8217;s heated through. You may also microwave it at a reduced power setting in one-minute increments, stirring after each increment.<\/p>\n<h2>Broccoli Cheddar Soup Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2025590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Broccoli-Cheddar-Soup_FT24_78_EC_073024_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"3\/4th shot of broccoli cheddar soup\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ELLIE CROWLEY FOR TASTE OF HOME <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you keep broccoli cheddar soup from curdling?<\/h3>\n<p>Curdling in cream soups, like this cheddar broccoli soup recipe, usually occurs when the milk or cream is added at too high a heat. (Don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s a common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mistakes-you-may-be-making-with-soup\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mistakes-you-may-be-making-with-soup\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mistake when making soup<\/a>.) As you incorporate the milk and broth into the cooked onion and flour mixture, keep the heat at medium and stir continuously with a whisk. Once it&#8217;s all mixed in, then bring it to a boil.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you avoid grainy broccoli cheddar soup?<\/h3>\n<p>Using the wrong type of cheese can make cream soups grainy. For best results, don&#8217;t use packaged shredded cheese. Shred the cheese directly off a block.<\/p>\n<p>Before adding the cheese, you can add one small peeled and diced russet potato to the soup. Once it&#8217;s cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the potato as you add the cheese. This will help emulsify the milk and cheese, keeping the soup creamy without affecting flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with broccoli cheddar soup?<\/h3>\n<p>Serve this easy broccoli cheddar soup with a hunk of crusty bread for dipping and dunking.

I also added a pinch of cayenne and paprika, and more cheese. Additionally I used 1 cup milk and a half cup heavy cream. I used two different types of cheddar and it really gave it more depth in flavor! I highly recommend using this as a base recipe and then adjusting or adding ingredients based on personal preferences. Oh and the consistency was perfect.

As many reviewers stated, the  order and the manner in which the ingredients are added will more likely yield a clumpy texture. I just made the soup but luckily I knew how to mix the ingredients in. This is a basic concept of making roux and sauce Bechamel.I suggest the following:Melt the butter in a saucepan together with the flour while mixing them with a spatula. Make the mixture boil on low to medium flame for a few minutes.  Your end result should be golden yellow. The idea behind mixing and boiling them together is to eliminate flour taste.Then start adding cold milk in small batches constantly whisking the mixture.  Pour and whisk. Repeat. The mixture will \"plump up\" while absorbing the milk.  Just whisk continuously until you add all the milk.  Keep on the low to medium flame and whisk until the mixture boils. The hotter it becomes the thicker it will be. It will reach its maximum thickness once it boils. The consistency depends on the amount of flour vs milk.Unless you do something totally wrong this method will guarantee you no clumps.Note: cold milk makes the mixture more watery and therefore easier to whisk. Should you use hot milk instead, this will create thicker mixture to begin with. I prefer to rather boil it afterwards than to use boiling\/hot milk. Whisk, whisk, whisk.... and it will be perfect.Add the cheese into the mixture and mix it in either with your spatula or with the whisk.Nothing will clump or curdle.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-09-15","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"CarolineThompson"},"reviewBody":"Good base recipe!

Of course I doubled the recipe because I love leftovers and I tweaked it a bit.  I added finely chopped carrots and celery about a 1\/8 of a cup each, and when you're sauteing the vegetables in the butter, you need to start with the carrots and celery first and saute about 10 minutes  and then add the onion . I also added about an 1\/8 tsp of minced garlic.  then continued as the recipe says.  I got pretty ambitious and made potato cheddar soup using the same base except I used half the amount of chicken stock and replaced it with some of the water I cooked the potatoes in. Amazing soup!
