Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup beer-flavored non-alcoholic beverage

1 cup vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Toasted crusty bread or croutons for serving

Instructions
 

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, until translucent.

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

      Add the vegetable broth and the beer-flavored non-alcoholic beverage to the pot, bringing it to a gentle simmer.

        Once simmering, add the broccoli florets to the pot. Cover and cook for about 10-15 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.

          Carefully blend the soup using an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender until smooth and creamy.

            Return the soup to low heat, then stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until the cheese has completely melted.

              Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, add a little more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.

                Serve hot, garnished with more shredded cheese and paired with toasted crusty bread or croutons for dipping.
