Step 1
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Add broccoli florets and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until broccoli is very tender, 8–10 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from heat and let cool 2 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree soup until smooth.
Step 4
Return pot to medium heat. Stir in shredded cheddar until fully melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in heavy cream. Heat through but do not boil, 1–2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 6
Serve hot in bowls.
