Recipe View 5 mins Stir in broccoli florets and shredded Cheddar cheese. Cook until broccoli is tender-crisp and the cheese is melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

For a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the broccoli and cheese.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as cauliflower or carrots, for the broccoli.
If you don't have chicken stock, vegetable stock can be used as a substitute.
For a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the cayenne pepper.
The dumplings can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Garnish with extra shredded cheese, chopped fresh parsley, or a dollop of sour cream.
