High-Protein Broccoli Cheddar Sou
- Sauté the Veggies
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
- Add Garlic & Seasoning
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika and flour, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for another minute. - Simmer the Broccoli
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the chopped broccoli. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 8–9 minutes, until the broccoli is tender. - Warm the Milk
Reduce heat to low and stir in the milk. Let it warm through without boiling. - Add the Cheeses
Stir in the blended cottage cheese and shredded cheddar. Mix gently until melted and smooth—avoid overheating to prevent curdling. - Blend for Creaminess
