Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter, ghee, or olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion diced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken bone broth or broth of choice
  • 2 cups milk of choice (I used 2%)
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4-6 cups broccoli florets chopped
  • 6-8 oz freshly-grated sharp cheddar cheese, plus more for garnishing (I highly recommend using freshly shredded from a block instead of pre-shredded cheese)
  • 1 small container Greek yogurt (I used Fage 5% plain greek yogurt- 5.3 oz)

Instructions
 

  • Heat butter or oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until melted. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes. Add the carrots and flour and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the bone broth, milk, and spices (salt, pepper, and dry mustard). Stir to combine. Bring the soup to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add the broccoli and cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese is fully melted. Continue cooking for 2-5 minutes, or until the broccoli reaches your preferred texture/tenderness.
  • Slowly add Greek yogurt and stir until Greek yogurt is fully incorporated into the soup.
  • Serve warm. Garnish with extra cheddar cheese if preferred. Enjoy!
