Panera's Broccoli Cheddar Soup

I liked it but I struggled to make it taste good. The 2 cups of cheese wasn't enough to give it that sharp flavor. I should have added 3 or 4 cups at least. I added some parmasan, it helped. I had to put the soup in a food processor to chop down the broccoli heads. I should have left some of them chunky. I added a pinch more salt and way too much cornstarch to get it to thicken. I boiled it for a while to cook it down. Overall, everyone else enjoyed it. I'll try again.

So yummy! Added in some precooked ham hock and it was great. Also did a bit more broccoli, the more "chunks" the better

Mine turned out really bland for some reason, and I used way too many onions. My fault. Will try again!

I added celery, dab of bacon grease, red chili peppers, of course twice the amount of veggies, broth, flour, butter, and heavy whipping cream.

Delicious!

Added a tiny bit of parmesan and made those flavors pop!

I added some fresh oregano sprigs that I had on hand.

The souped was so good I was scrapping the bowl. But for next time I might use regular instead of cheddar for my taste preferences.

Delicious. Added crushed red pepper and doubled the veggies.

I used frozen Broccoli and canned diced carrots for my preference. It was amazing!!! I also purreed about a cup of the Broccoli to make some smaller chunks! Will make again!

This was so good. It even reheats well!!

Vegetable stock 1T better than bouillon veg base Diced jalapeños with broccoli Half cheddar half jalapeño cheddar Add a sliced jalapeño at the end. With seeds cook 10 more min.

Got tons of compliments on this one, I did skip the nutmeg and added some crushed red pepper.

My roommates and I loved the way it came out! So delicious, and absolutely no leftovers.

Very easy when you're craving it, much cheaper than buying the prepackaged, a great work lunch with some crusty bread.
