If you’ve never had the Broccoli Cheese Soup from Panera you’re missing out. This version tastes just like it!
I know this recipe has made the rounds around the blogs but my job is to share recipes that I really love and this is one of them. The reason I know that this recipe tastes just like the delicious soup at Panera is because I ate this at least once a week during my last pregnancy. It was the ONLY thing that I looked forward to eating and I’m sure the peeps at Panera knew me by name. They serve it with a warm crusty baguette. Oh my goodness. It almost makes me want to get pregnant again.
You’ll need about 3 cups of broccoli chopped into bite sized pieces. You’re supposed to julienne a carrot. I cook a lot and I do not have the patience to do that.
They sell “matchstick” carrots in the produce section. Save yourself some sanity and time and just buy those.
It’s important to use sharp cheese here as it gives it more flavor than a milder cheese.
Then eat a couple of bowls of this delicious soup. After all, it is the first day of fall today.
