Easy Cheddar Broccoli Soup Recipe

Easy cheddar broccoli soup recipe. This broccoli cheese soup is the absolute best! It’s so creamy and full of cheese – perfect for busy weeknights and even picky eaters. Yum! Creamy broccoli cheese soup with hidden veggies? Count me in! The potatoes help make it thick and creamy but it won’t make you feel like you just ate a cheese dip. Delicious!

To make a vegetarian version of this dish, use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. You can also use a mix of half vegetable stock and half heavy cream for a heartier dish.

It’s essential to use fresh, good-quality cheese. Grate the cheese into small pieces and add it slowly to the dish to make sure it doesn’t clump together.

I love broccoli cheddar soup, especially with kind at Panera Bread. I love how it’s so creamy and flavorful with a nice mix of tangy and cheesy tastes. I never thought I’d be able to make it at home. But I thought it’d be great to surprise him with a homemade version for the holidays!

Broccoli Cheddar Soup Tips and Tricks

• Grate the cheese yourself for the best result. Pre-shredded cheese often has something called anti-caking agents that stop the cheese from melting nicely in your soup. If you want a smooth and creamy broth for your broccoli cheddar soup, get a block of cheese instead and grate it up.
• Stir constantly when you add flour and milk. This keeps the flour from sticking to the bottom of the pot with the butter. Adding the milk makes everything mix nicely, so the soup gets thicker and there are no lumps.
• Cook the soup over low heat. When you add the cheese, add a little at a time and stir. That way, the cheese will blend in nicely and the soup won’t be too thin or gloopy.
• When you’re ready to eat, sprinkle some extra cheese on top (if you’d like) and serve it with some crunchy bread to dip into.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat them, don’t use the microwave. Put the soup in a saucepan over medium-low heat and stir it until it’s hot. This way, the soup will stay thick and creamy. If you increase the heat too much, it will become separated.

What to Serve with Broccoli Cheddar Soup
