4 cups vegetable broth
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup corn (frozen or canned)

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste

2. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
3. Add carrots and potatoes, stir well. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
5. Add broccoli and corn, continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes.
6. Lower the heat and stir in the cream.
7. Slowly add shredded cheddar while stirring constantly until melted.

Notes
Use freshly shredded cheese for the smoothest melt and creamiest texture.
Don’t boil the soup after adding cream and cheese to prevent curdling.
Cut potatoes and carrots into similar-sized chunks for even cooking.
