COPYCAT PANERA® BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP
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!

Steps:
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Whisk 1/4 cup melted butter and flour together in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Continue to whisk and cook , adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk if necessary to keep the flour from burning, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Gradually pour milk into flour mixture while whisking constantly. Stir chicken stock into milk mixture. Bring to a simmer; cook until mixture is thickened, about 20 minutes. Add broccoli, carrots, sauteed onion, and celery; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Stir Cheddar cheese into vegetable mixture until cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5 INGREDIENT BROCCOLI SOUP
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.

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.
