For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the soup while it simmers. If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree a portion of the soup before adding the cheese and broccoli. Remember to leave some chunks for a heartier texture. The freshness of the broccoli really shines through in this recipe, so choose a head that is firm and vibrant green. Consider adding a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to each bowl for extra creaminess and tang. Garnish with croutons, a swirl of cream, or fresh herbs for an elegant presentation.
