Broccoli soup with Cactus and Gruyère Cheese

This broccoli soup is another easy weeknight meal or a nice side dish to a bigger menu with protein. A great way to get some avocado fats, protein, and complex carbs in.

I like to use Gruyere cheese giving it a nice gourmet and smooth texture. You can use a white sharp cheddar for a more salty and rustic texture depending on what you're looking for or if you're pairing it with other dishes.
