I have been making this Easy Cream of Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe for my family for years. Any broccoli soup that you can get a 7 year old to request and ask for seconds is a good recipe!
I found this Easy Cream of Broccoli Cheese Soup recipe from cdkitchen and made a couple changes to make it my own. This is a home made soup recipe, don’t feel intimated to cook home made, this is an easy to follow recipe that anyone can do. It doesn’t take a long time to cook home made broccoli soup either, it will be on your table in less than 30 minutes. Plus, it is very inexpensive since it calls for ingredients you most likely have most of in your refrigerator.
The below recipe serves 4 and can easily be doubled or tripled.
