COPYCAT PANERA® BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP



Copycat Panera® Broccoli Cheddar Soup image

My husband loves Panera® broccoli cheddar soup but it went up in price and therefore we set out on a hunt to create the perfect broccoli cheddar soup. Here is what we came up with. There are tons of variations and options to make this soup your own. You can add extra veggies, different cheeses, garlic to your onions, a little nutmeg to the finished soup, green onions, sour cream, etc. The list goes on and on. Make it your own! Serve topped with cheese!

1 tablespoon butter
½ onion, chopped
¼ cup melted butter
¼ cup flour
2 cups milk
2 cups chicken stock
1 ½ cups coarsely chopped broccoli florets

5 INGREDIENT BROCCOLI SOUP



5 Ingredient Broccoli Soup image

I have always wanted to make a cream of soup all on my own since I always try to eat healthy but most all cream soups have butter and heavy cream and even flour so to make it easier for me and others I made it my own and got a rich and delicious soup that only includes 5 ingredients! This is a soup that you don't have to worry about counting calories because I substituted the bad ingredients with the good and savory.

Time 25m

Yield 4 bowls, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 heads broccoli
1 carrot
1/2 sweet red onion
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup evaporated milk
olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Chop the broccoli into 1 inch pieces and slice the carrot into rounds.
  • Chop 1/2 of a red onion or the whole thing if its a small one.
  • Heat the olive oil, in a pot big enough to hold all the vegetables, over medium heat and saute the onion first for 1 minute.
  • Add the rest of the vegetables.
  • Season with salt and pepper(use white pepper if you have it) and cook until the onion turns translucent. About 10 minutes.
  • Add just enough chicken broth to cover the broccoli. (I like to use homemade chicken broth whenever I can.)
  • Bring to a simmer and cook until the broccoli is soft and tender.
  • Remove from heat and cool for a minute or 2.
  • Blend the soup in batches so it doesnt explode and make a mess.
  • Transfer the soup into a new clean pot and stir in the milk.
  • If you want it to be thinner add more chicken stock and season with salt and pepper.

5-INGREDIENT BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP RECIPE - (4.3/5)



5-Ingredient Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-26060

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups broccoli (fresh or frozen)
1 small onion
15 ounces evaporated milk (my favorite healthier alternative to heavy cream)
3 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock to make this vegetarian)
2 cups cheddar cheese (I recommend using sharp for more flavor)

Steps:

  • Stir together stock, broccoli, diced onion, evaporated milk and cheese together in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until simmering (but not boiling, or the soup will curdle). Then reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is cooked and soft. Season soup with salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm.
