- 1 bunch broccoli 750 g (approx1-1/2 lbs)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 small baking potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups (500 mL) reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tsp (2 mL) grated orange rind
- ½ tsp (2 mL) dried thyme

- 1 tsp (2 mL) salt
Topping
- 1 cup (250 mL) shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
- Peel and chop broccoli stems and coarsely chop florets, keeping stems and florets separate (you should have about 6 cups/1.5 L total).
- In a pot, combine broccoli stems, onion, potatoes, garlic, broth, orange rind, thyme, and pepper; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 min. Add florets; simmer, covered, for 5 min or until vegetables are softened.
- Transfer to a blender or food processor, in batches, or use an immersion blender in the pot and puree soup, adding milk and prepared Enfagrow® A+ ® Toddler Milk Flavour, until smooth. Return to pot, if necessary. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until steaming, but do not let boil. Stir in more milk if soup is too thick. Season with up to 1 tsp (2 mL) salt.
