The Best Broccoli Cheese Soup (Better-Than-Panera Copycat)

My only qualm with this recipe is that it always takes way more than an hour. Maybe it's my cookware, but I have to cook on a lower heat to avoid burning the soup on the bottom of the pot. But it's my favourite recipe and worth every ounce and second of energy and time. It doesn't last long as leftovers.

Made according to the recipe. Sooo good! I used heavy whipping cream and added more stock to thin it to my liking. Next time I will julienne the carrots instead of slicing them into rounds.

Don’t look anywhere else, this is hands down the BEST broccoli cheddar soup around. So hearty and flavorful, truly a perfect essential fall meal. Be cautioned: this meal will take time… 100% worth every minute. I like to add potatoes and sometimes bacon topping. With that health score… what do you really have to lose? Made some homemade bread, perfect comfort food. Don’t be afraid of the pinch of cayenne. Used Zoup bone broth instead of vegetable stock. I used the entire jar ~4cups.

I've done this one again and again. Love it. Definitely shred your own cheese instead of buying a bag of shred.

Needed to add stock periodically during simmering as soup became over thickened. Spices were great, would make again. Didn't add carrot but only as a preference.

Nice

Fantastic! My husband who does not like soup at all, likes this soup. It's a fall/winter go to

I wouldn't say that it's better than Panera's, but it is yummy! Whips up quickly, too!

Very good and super easy!

Used almond flour (to lower carb count) and added extra cheese and some chicken as well.

So freaking amazing!!!! Really thick. Used 1/2 teaspoon of all spices. Omitted cayenne. Maybe use 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grace loved!!!

Kind of a lot of steps for me but not too bad. Chop in advance. Don't wrap presents at the same time. It tastes delicious.
