👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
3
Add the chopped chayote and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chayote is very tender.
4
Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot). Blend until smooth. If using a regular blender, work in batches and be cautious with hot liquids.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the soup is not too hot before blending in a standard blender.
5
Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the milk (or half-and-half), crumbled cheese, salt, and pepper. Heat gently over low heat until the cheese is melted and the soup is warmed through. Do not boil.
💡 전문가 팁: Add more milk or broth if a thinner consistency is desired.
6
Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with additional crumbled cheese and fresh cilantro, if desired.
💡 전문가 팁: Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
