Nothing tastes better or warms you up more than a hot bowl of soup in the winter. Soup even has a mysterious way of calming you down WHILE filling you up. Maybe it is because it is hot it forces us to slow down and enjoy our dining experience. So why not add a super easy, super cheesy new soup to your repertoire? This broccoli cheese soup only has 5 ingredients and also happens to be vegetarian and gluten free!!! WIN..WIN...WIN! The cheese and heavy cream help to thicken up the soup without needing any flour or cornstarch. You can definitely change this up by adding some bacon or chicken and extra spices, but this is a great base to start from. We only added black pepper as the cheese and chicken broth provided enough salt for the broccoli cheese soup. And if you are like us, you may be looking for some good veggie options that help save you money AND are toddler friendly. As pictured at the end, you can definitely blend this soup up if you prefer a creamier soup or need to "hide" those broccoli florets:) Serve this up tonight with some biscuits (last week's video), but make sure to make a lot because this soup tastes even better the next day! Ingredients: Put 3 teaspoons minced garlic into a saucepan and cook for 1 minute on medium heat Mix 3.5 cups chicken broth with 1 cup heavy cream to your garlic Add 4 cups of chopped broccoli florets to the mixture then turn heat up to high Bring to a boil, then simmer very low for 15 to 20 minutes Add 3 cups of cheddar cheese about 1/2 cup at a time. Mix each batch of cheese until the cheese melts. You can serve it as is or blend it for 1 to 2 minutes.
