Seriously one of my favorite soups on the planet is broccoli cheddar. That and the good ol’ standby of chicken noodle. I’m not really into tortilla soup or anything else, I like creamy soups or the basics lol.

I like to make this soup as a one serving for myself because I could probably eat it once a week, but when it’s winter time I force this soup on anyone who will have it. One of the reasons broccoli cheddar soup stands out is its remarkable nutritional profile. Broccoli, the star ingredient, is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber, and folate. It’s also a great source of antioxidants that help protect your body against well yucky stuff.

While you can find broccoli cheddar soup in many restaurants and cafes, there’s something truly special about making it from scratch in the comfort of your own kitchen. The aroma that fills the air as the soup simmers, and the satisfaction of knowing each ingredient that goes into it, adds an extra touch of joy to the experience. By customizing the recipe to your liking, you can control the level of creaminess, the amount of cheese, and even experiment with additional spices or herbs to suit your taste preferences.

Notes

I’m probably the odd man out, but I love the stem of broccoli. So you’ll see I cut the entire broccoli and include all of it not just the florets. 
I enjoy this as a main dish in a bread bowl or paired with a really nice crusty baguette.
