How To Make It
Step 1
Heat the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven and sauté the carrot and broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes—season with paprika and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add the garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 2
Pour in the chicken stock and turmeric and bring to a gentle simmer. While the soup is simmering, add the cheddar cheese and cream cheese gradually while constantly stirring to melt the cheese into the soup. By constantly stirring, you will help to thicken the soup. Season to taste.
