Let's cook

  1. Soften the onion in 2 tbsp butter in a large pot, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add the broccoli and broth, bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes until very tender.

  3. Blend about half the soup (an immersion blender is easiest) to thicken it.

  4. Over low heat stir in the half-and-half, then the cheddar a handful at a time until melted. Don't let it boil.
