Warm Your Soul with Broccoli Cheddar Vegetable Soup

This hearty broccoli cheddar soup is loaded with delicious flavors. There is no need to go out to Panera for an expensive lunch when you can make this copycat broccoli cheddar soup at home. It is full of great broccoli cheese flavors!  It’s easy to make in less than an our. My husband couldn’t stop eating it. My version is a bit lighter without heavy cream, but the taste is still just as comforting and mouthwatering as ever.

I love to use plenty of broccoli because it’s one of my favorite vegetables, you can always use less or smaller pieces to your taste. Even my kids who don’t really like broccoli can eat this soup.

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 cups finely chopped carrot
• 1 celery stick, finely chopped (feel free to add more if you like)
• 2 Tablespoons minced garlic
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 4 large baking potatoes, peeled and chopped
•  2 Tablespoons flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup milk
• 4 cups chopped broccoli
• 4 heaping cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

• Melt the butter in a large soup pot. Adding onions and sauté until translucent.
• Add carrots, and celery and cook over medium heat until tender.
• Add garlic and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
• Mix in potatoes and chicken broth, bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are slightly tender.
• Mix flour with water, add, and simmer until soup is slightly thick.
• Add milk and broccoli and simmer until broccoli is just tender and soup is heated through.
• Stir in cheese and allow to fully melt.  

Broccoli Cheese Soup is the perfect meal to make on a cold day! I love to cuddle up with it in a cup and curl up in a blanket by the fire. It’s delightfully cheesy, rich and creamy. YUM!!!
