1 tbsp butter
1 tsp garlic powder
2.5 cups chicken broth
3 cups broccoli Chopped into small pieces. Use a food processor to make this bit go faster or use frozen chopped broccoli (fastest).
1 cup heavy whipping cream * Almond milk works but it will not be as creamy.
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese * Any kind you like. Sharp is our favorite.
4 slices bacon * Optional- chopped and cooked
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Add butter, broth, broccoli and spices. Bring to a boil; simmer until broccoli is tender, about 15 minutes.
Add heavy cream & Cheddar cheese gradually. DO NOT BOIL ONCE YOU ADD CHEESE AND CREAM. Just a low simmer is enough.
Stir constantly, until completely melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If too thick add more cream. Too thin? Add more cheese.
Serve with optional toppings on the side. See post for ideas.

This recipe makes approximately 9 cups of soup. The nutritional info includes the bacon.

A serving is considered to be 1 (US) cup or about 8 oz.
