Broccoli Cheese Soup

Sharing is caring!

On those chill-you-to-the-bone cold days, Broccoli Cheese Soup is my go-to soup recipe. Paired with a homemade loaf of bread, this quick and easy homemade Broccoli Cheese soup is a winter staple at our house. It is cold weather comfort food perfection. This homemade broccoli cheese soup recipe is very easy to whip up--even if you've never made homemade soup before! Eat your heart out Panera.

The thing I like the most about this recipe is that there aren't any weird ingredients. I almost always have the ingredients on hand, and I can use the freshest ingredients available. According to a gluten free friend, she substituted a few ingredients and was still able to enjoy this recipe on the coldest of days. The ultimate test of this recipe is that my kids will even eat it! I'd say that makes this soup recipe a winner.
