Sorghum flour acts as a thickener in this gluten-free broccoli and cheese soup, made super cheesy with a 3-cheese blend of Mexican, Italian, and Cheddar cheeses.

Ingredients

3 teaspoons salted butter
3 tablespoons sorghum flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups almond milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pinch onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 heads broccoli, cut into florets
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Italian cheese blend
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour; cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, almond milk, and cream; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
2 Stir in red pepper flakes, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Increase heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3 minutes. Add Mexican, Italian, and Cheddar cheeses. Cook and stir until melted, 2 to 5 minutes.
