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!

FRESH BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR SOUP
This soup is easy comfort food using fresh (not frozen) broccoli and real cheddar cheese. It takes about half an hour to forty minutes to make, but it's so much better than any soup from a can. I like to leave some of the broccoli in large chunks rather than pureeing it all.
