Ingredients
  

Vegetable Base

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup yellow onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Soup

  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup russet potato diced into ½-inch pieces
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon mustard powder

Finishing

  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt at room temperature

Instructions
 

Vegetable Base

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat until foaming around the edges, about 1 minute.
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 4–5 minutes.
    1 cup yellow onion

  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover, and cook until vegetables are tender, 15–20 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree until mostly smooth, leaving some texture.

Finishing
