Next, pour in chicken broth and milk before gradually mixing in broccoli and ham before simmering the entire mixture for 8 to 10 minutes before enjoying your dish!
Once the vegetables are softened, add heavy cream and cheese. Cheese will help the soup thicken, creating an irresistibly creamy texture. If you desire extra thick soup, consider introducing natural thickeners such as xanthan gum or glucomannan; just be sure to do it gradually while whisking the thickener until its even distribution in your soup.
