Vegetarian Oat Flour Broccoli Cheddar Soup

This cozy, creamy soup builds deep flavor from softened onion, carrot, and garlic before a light dusting of oat flour thickens things up into a silky base. Broccoli florets simmer right in the pot until fork-tender, then get partially blended for that perfect balance of smooth and chunky. Whole milk and freshly grated sharp cheddar melt in at the end, giving the soup its signature velvety, cheesy finish, while a splash of lemon juice brightens every spoonful. Warm spices like turmeric and ground mustard round out the flavor without overpowering the broccoli and cheese. It's a comforting, ladle-worthy bowl that fits beautifully into a vegetarian dinner rotation, especially topped with a little fresh parsley for color and freshness.

1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
¼ cup oat flour
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth.
1 lb broccoli florets, cut into small pieces (about 5 cups)
1 cup whole milk
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp ground mustard
6 oz sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated (about 1 ½ cups)
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent and the carrots have begun to soften, about 6–7 minutes.
2
Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
