HOMEMADE BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP 

Who needs Panera when you can have your bowl of broccoli soup and an apple at home. Creamy and delicious Broccoli Cheddar Soup made in ONE POT on the stovetop. This soup is easy to make in around 30  minutes and is full of flavor.

 I love almost all soups, coming in to fall I will probably make a lot of them now that I’m home during the day.

The first one I made for the blog was Easy Country Chicken Noodle Soup, I’m soon going to be posting a recipe for chili.  When I worked an office job, my daughter worked with me and our go-to lunch was a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup with a baguette from Panera.  I didn’t necessarily need to make a copy cat version of Panera bread’s broccoli cheddar, I just wanted it to be easy, quick and tasty.  To make this soup you will need broccoli, milk, cheddar cheese, carrots, onions(optional) flour, butter, chicken broth, salt, and pepper.

Tips for making your soup quick and easy :

• Use a food processor for chopping veggies 
• Buy pre-chopped broccoli
• Buy pre-shredded carrots 
• Use shredded cheese
