Our Broccoli Cheese Soup recipe has taken quite a few years to get right. Like our Pumpkin Soup and our Cream of Mushroom Soup, we’ve spent a long time perfecting the taste, flavour and consistency. This might not be an exact replica of Panera’s Broccoli Cheddar Soup… but it’s pretty damn close! This soup is so good, you’ll be eating it right out of the pot.
BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
When I visited my hometown New York a few years ago, I was taken to Panera’s and immediately given a steaming, hot bowl of Broccoli Cheddar Soup. Dipping into it, I could not believe how beautifully thick and creamy it was… and since then, I’ve dedicated my time to making a soup just as delectable, right here in the comfort of my own kitchen. Thick and velvety, with an abundance of broccoli and American cheddar cheese! What more could you want in a soup?
HOW TO MAKE BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
There are so many broccoli cheese soup recipes out there that contain so little broccoli, you wonder why they bother including broccoli in the first place – but not this one! We pack our soup full of the good, green stuff to really draw out the flavour of the broccoli.
Start by frying onions and garlic in melted butter… this is where the flavour begins. Whisk in flour. Put some elbow grease into it for a smoother consistency. Add in your seasonings. This is where your second hit of flavour comes from. Follow with an abundance of broccoli and carrots, then cheese. Get your bread rolls ready and dip!
HOW LONG IS BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP GOOD FOR IN THE FRIDGE?
Once broccoli soup is cooked, let it cool and cover in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If required, freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
HOW DO YOU REHEAT SOUP?
To Reheat In Your Microwave: Cover loosely with a microwave safe lid and microwave on a high heat setting for 2-3 minutes, or until hot. Stir halfway through heating time. Please note: Microwave times may vary. For Stove Top: Pour soup into a pot or sauce pan. Heat, while stirring occasionally being careful not to bring to a rapid boil, until hot.
