Broccoli-Cheddar Soup Dip in a Bread Bowl

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch broccoli until bright green, 2 minutes. Drain and let cool, then chop. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add flour, stirring constantly until golden, 1 minute, then add cream and simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and add cheese, stirring until melted. Add chopped broccoli and stir until combine. Transfer mixture to bread bowl and place on a baking sheet. Bake until mixture is warmed through and bubbling, 15 minutes. Serve hot with chips.
