Processor and shred the cheese. Remove and reserve. Insert the
large metal chopping blade. With the machine running, drop the
garlic cloves through the small feed tube to finely chop. Add the
onion to the work bowl and pulse to chop, about 10 pulses.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the
garlic and onion, with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Sauté
until softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
While vegetables are cooking, insert the slicing disc assembly,
adjusted to the 4mm setting, into the large work bowl. Slice
the potatoes and the broccoli stems.
Increase the heat to medium and add the potatoes, broccoli
stems and a pinch each of the salt and pepper; sauté 2 to 3
minutes, and then add the sherry. Let the sherry cook down
until almost evaporated. Add the stock and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium low and stir in the florets, lemon zest,
½ cup of Cheddar, and remaining salt and pepper. Simmer
until vegetables are tender.
Strain the soup, reserving the liquid. Place the solids in the
large work bowl with the large metal chopping blade and
purée until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
With the machine running, add reserved liquid through the
feed tube until desired consistency is achieved. Add remaining
Cheddar.
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
TIP: This soup is very thick, so add more stock if a thinner
consistency is desired.
