Healthy Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.

Add in the onion, garlic, celery, and carrots. Stir occasionally for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent. Stir in the mustard until combined.

Add in the broccoli, potatoes and seasonings.

Add the veggie broth and milk and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft.

IN SMALL BATCHES, add the soup to a blender to blend or use an immersion blender. Just pulse it as you don’t want it completely blended. For more texture, remove a cup or two before blending then add it back in. Add more broth if it’s too thick.

Stir in the cheese and season to taste.
