Gluten-Free Broccoli and Cheese Soup

Kind of an off-the-cuff, organic, gluten-free version of an old favorite. You can also pop the ingredients into the slow cooker and it will be ready when you get home. Serve in round, gluten-free bread bowl for added love. Top with additional Cheddar and chives.

Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons salted butter

  • 3 tablespoons sorghum flour

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1 ½ cups almond milk

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 pinch onion powder

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 ½ heads broccoli, cut into florets

  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend

  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Italian cheese blend

  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour; cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, almond milk, and cream; cook and stir for 2 minutes.

  2. Stir in red pepper flakes, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Increase heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3 minutes. Add Mexican, Italian, and Cheddar cheeses. Cook and stir until melted, 2 to 5 minutes.

  3. Turn heat to high, add broccoli, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes. Increase heat to high again, and cook until broccoli is tender but not mushy, 2 to 3 minutes.

Cook's Note:

I use all organic, GMO-free, and gluten-free ingredients.
