Instructions

1. Butter Time:
   Melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it sighs softly and says, “Let’s do this.”

2. Onion Aromatherapy:
   Toss in the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft and lightly golden—like they just got back from a Tuscan vacation.

3. Garlic Glow-Up:
   Add the garlic and cook another minute. Your kitchen should now smell like someone who cooks a LOT more often than you do.

4. Flour Power:
   Sprinkle in the flour and whisk for 1–2 minutes until it turns lightly golden. This is your soup’s glow-from-within moment.

5. Veggie Jacuzzi:
   Pour in the stock and add broccoli, carrots, salt, pepper, and Tuscan Evening seasoning. Bring to a boil, then drop heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes or until veggies surrender fully.

6. Creamy Dreamy Finale:
   Stir in the half & half and cheddar cheese. Let it melt and mingle for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

7. Serve:
   Immediately ladle into bowls. Optional but strongly encouraged: toasted crusty bread or a bread bowl because carbs are love.

This Tuscan-Evening-kissed broccoli cheddar soup is the comfort bowl you didn’t know you needed. Fast, cheesy, silky, and loaded with warm herby flavor—your 30-minute weeknight dinner hero.
