Step 1
Add olive oil and broccoli to a large pot or Dutch oven. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 3-5 minutes to flavor. Remove from pot and set aside.
Step 2
Melt the butter in the same pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery, cooking until softened (about 3–4 minutes).
Step 3
Stir in the flour, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and golden. This forms the base that thickens the soup.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the half-and-half (or milk) and chicken stock until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens a bit.
Step 5
Add the broccoli, carrots, and nutmeg into the pot. Cook on medium-low heat for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender and the flavors meld together. You can leave it chunky or, optionally, blend 1-2 cups of the soup in a blender until smooth, then return to the soup pot and stir to combine. I like to mash some of the broccoli with a wooden spoon in the pot for terrific texture without blending, but all methods are great!
Step 6
Stir in the freshly grated cheddar cheese until completely melted—season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7
Ladle the soup into bowls (or a bread bowl if you want classic Panera style). Garnish with extra cheddar cheese if desired. Serve with crusty bread or rolls for dipping.
