    Directions<\/h4>
    • Melt the butter in a large pot or\u00a0Dutch oven\u00a0over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and several grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until translucent. <\/li>
    • Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, then slowly add in the flour while whisking continuously for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the flour turns golden. <\/li>
    • Continue to whisk while slowly pouring in the milk, about 1\/4 cup at a time to ensure it thickens.<\/li>
    • Add the broth, broccoli, carrot, and mustard and stir to combine. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.<\/li>
    • Add in cheese and stir until it has melted. (See note)<\/li>
    • Enjoy!<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Notes<\/h4>
      • I prefer to use Better than Bouillon in my recipes, so I substitute the broth for 2 tsp of chicken bouillon and 2 cups of water.<\/li>
      • You can use a block of cheese for this recipe instead of shredded. Cut it up into 1\/2 inch cubes and toss in!<\/li>
      • It’s important to add the cheese last, otherwise it will get curdy and make your soup have a grainy texture!<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3183,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[100,56],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3182","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-easy","8":"category-soups","9":"entry","10":"one-fourth"},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/T3A1171-2-600x400.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/T3A1171-2-600x600.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Magda Sicknick","author_link":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/author\/magdas\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3182"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3182\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3209,"href":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3182\/revisions\/3209"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsageacres.com\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
