Broccoli Cheese Soup
I really love Panera’s broccoli cheddar soup. So delicious and filling! But really, it’s expensive. Last week I went through the Panera drive-thru to pick up a family size soup plus a lentil soup for my husband. TWENTY-TWO dollars for just that! The broccoli cheddar soup served three adults dinner sized portions and there was just a little bit left. Twenty-two dollars. I mean, dude… ridiculous. It did come with 4 pieces of bread, but still!

So, when I’m in the mood for some cheesy broccoli soup goodness, I’ll be making that for myself from now on. It’s easy!

This soup doesn’t taste exactly like Panera’s soup, but close enough to make me happy.

I recommend using low sodium broth and unsalted butter if you can. The cheese used in the recipe makes the soup plenty salty, so cutting down on the salt in other ingredients is important.

    I have never made broccoli soup, but it is one of my favorites!
    My fail safe has always been the Bear Creek brand, but I have to admit, yours looks better! We eat soup at least once a week all year long. There is something so very comforting about creamy soups that warm the soul. Yum.

    Have you tried using a different type of cheese. We do not use Velveeta cheese in our house.

      Try Googling “homemade velveeta” for more natural recipes. I think you’d still get a very similar outcome.
