Smoked Gouda-Broccoli Soup



1½ pounds broccoli crowns (2 medium)
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese
Salt & pepper to taste

Coarsely chop the broccoli into small pieces. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add flour and paprika; stir to coat. Add broth and the chopped broccoli. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.  Using a potato masher with small holes, mash the mixture.  Add cheese a little at a time, stirring constantly until it melts before adding more. Add salt and white pepper to taste. Serve hot, topped with the croutons.
Serves 4

(I did add croutons that I made earlier.  They equaled 1 slice of bread still keeping me within my calories/carbs/protein limits)
