Fast food doesn’t have to mean unhealthy food, especially when you make it yourself and this Broccoli Cheddar Soup is super fast and completely delicious.
A big pot of warm and cozy soup is what we all crave when it’s chilly outside and with one crown of broccoli — you can have a comforting meal in minutes. An onion, broccoli florets, and a bouillon cube is the base of this tasty soup. After it quickly cooks in about 10 minutes, shredded white cheddar cheese, and a splash of cream are added to create silkiness and great taste.
I like to enjoy my soup on the thinner side, but if you like yours with fuller body, more porridge-like — use less water. The end result is a luxurious mouthful of warm and flavorful soup. I prefer to serve it with crackers or rustic bread for dipping.
