- In Wok, add seasoning and water; stir to combine. Cover and start to heat over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, chop broccoli into small, bite-sized pieces. You should have about 4 cups. Using the smaller holes on a box grater, grate carrots. You should have about 2 cups. Add veggies to wok. Simmer, covered, until broccoli is vibrant green, about 2 min. The soup will have thickened at this point.
- Add milk; stir in cheese. Keep uncovered and bring back to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer until broccoli is tender, about 2 min. Taste and season with pepper. Add toppings just before serving, if desired.
Use freshly grated cheddar instead of pre-grated cheese. Pre-grated cheese will work—but it’s coated with anticaking agents that will give the soup a grainy texture, and it doesn’t melt as smoothly.
Serve with an open-faced or half sandwich made with 1 slice whole-grain bread, 1⁄2 tbsp mayo, 1⁄2 cup lean protein, and 1⁄2 cup leafy greens.
