Ingredients
  

4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons butter

¼ cup all-purpose flour

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup non-alcoholic beer (or additional vegetable broth)

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Croutons and green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Stir in the flour and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

      Gradually pour in the vegetable broth and non-alcoholic beer, whisking continuously to combine.

        Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Add the broccoli florets and simmer for about 15 minutes until the broccoli is tender.

          Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches), purée the soup until smooth, leaving some small pieces of broccoli for texture if desired.

            Return the pot to low heat, and stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika. Mix until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

              Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting for flavor as necessary.

                Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with croutons and chopped green onions if desired.
