Recipe Instructions:

INGREDIENTS
4 cups Broccoli (cut into florets)
4 cloves Garlic (minced)
3 1/2 cups Chicken broth, reduced sodium (or vegetable broth, or bone broth)
1 cup Heavy cream
3 cups Cheddar cheese (pre-shredded - see notes)
INSTRUCTIONS

In a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, saute garlic for one minute, until fragrant. (You can add a little oil as needed.)

Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and chopped broccoli. Increase heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-20 minutes, until broccoli is tender.

OPTION 1 (ORIGINAL RECIPE):
Add the shredded cheddar cheese gradually, stirring constantly, and continue to stir until melted. (Add 1/2 cup (64 g), simmer and stir until it melts fully, then repeat 1/2 cup (64 g) at a time until all the cheese is used up.) Make sure to keep it at a very low simmer and avoid high heat, to prevent seizing. Remove from heat immediately once all the cheese melts.
