Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Soup

I’ve been tweaking this formula for years you guys.  So. Many. Bowls. Of. Soup!  Some sort of this formula has been on the journal since 2014, and this version takes the cake!  Deliciously creamy, thick and wealthy, with the right mixture of smoothness and texture and loaded with broccoli cheddar cheese flavors. you just can’t go wrong!

This broccoli cheddar cheese soup is variety of a aper formula from Panera Bread, however I honestly haven’t had that soup from there in years, therefore I can’t say for absolute sure if the flavors area unit spot on or not.

Sure can!  You’ll wish to attend to feature the farm till the top, to forestall any curdling although.  I’ll have the directions below the formula below. the moment Pot directions are going to be there likewise.

Yes, however rather like with the slow cooking utensil, you’ll wish to form this soup while not adding the farm, since farm doesn’t typically freeze well. simply wait and add the farm once you’re reheating the soup.

Honestly you don’t even ought to puree the soup if you wish it chunkier, however if you wish it power tool, again, you've got a couple of choices.  My personal favorite technique is to use associate degree immersion liquidizer, that will|you'll|you'll be able to} use right within the pot! otherwise you can transfer a number of the soup to a conventional liquidizer, simply watch out, since the soup is hot.
