How to make broccoli cheddar soup
The base of this low FODMAP broccoli cheddar soup is a roux. This means that you melt butter in a pan. Add gluten-free flour and let it cook for a while.
Then add lactose-free milk and stock to make a cream soup.
Then add broccoli, carrot, some mustard, and salt and pepper to the soup. Let this cook until the broccoli is soft.
You can choose to puree the soup to get a smooth soup or if you prefer chunks in it, you can leave it like that.
Finally, add grated cheddar cheese and stir it into the soup. Then your cheesy broccoli cheddar soup is ready!
Delicious as a starter or for lunch with a gluten-free roll.
Storing the soup
You can store the broccoli cheddar soup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3 days. If you are going to reheat it, I recommend doing so in a saucepan on low heat. This keeps the soup at its best.

Description
A delicious creamy low FODMAP broccoli cheddar soup. Cheesy comfort food! Perfect for a cold day. Gluten free and low in lactose.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 30 g (1/4 cup) gluten-free flour
- 500 ml (2 cups) lactose-free milk (cow’s milk or almond milk)
- 500 ml (2 cups) low FODMAP stock (see here for an overview of low FODMAP stock cubes)
- 300 g (10.6 oz) broccoli florets
- 100 g (3.5 oz) carrot julienne
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 100 g grated cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a soup pan until it has melted.
- Then add the flour and stir well with a whisk for 1-2 minutes.
- Then pour in the milk little by little while you keep whisking so that no lumps are formed.
- Then add the stock and stir well.
- Now add the broccoli florets, carrot julienne, mustard, pepper, and salt to the soup.
- Let the soup cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the broccoli has softened.
- You can choose to puree the soup. I don’t do this, because I like it when there are pieces of broccoli in it. If you want to do this, it is best to do it now.
- Now add the cheese to the soup and stir the soup until the cheese has melted.
- Taste the soup and add some salt or pepper to taste. Divide the soup over bowls and serve.
