We loved this. I didn't have half and half so Iused one cup heavy cream and one cup 2% milk and it was a perfect consistency

Family loved it!! I added a bit more chicken stock and 2 cans of chicken breast for protein. Will make again.

Tastes good, kind of runny though. Would use full cream instead of half and half

I made this soup with a mix of broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. Then, I followed the rest of the recipe as is. It came out hearty and tasty.

Very good. Replaced the 2 cups heavy cream with 1 cup of coconut cream and instead of the 2cups of broth I put 3vips and even a bit more also added more cheese as I prefer it more cheesy than broccoli-y :)

Wonderful & delicious I made 3 times this winter

So good!! Made a few changes -
Boiled the broc in water for 10 mins first and chopped it finely before putting it in.
I just used a cheese grater to cut the carrots so they were super thin
Added garlic powder and seasoning salt
I used 3 C chicken broth and 1 C half/half

I cooked on med-low, but next time I will do it even lower because it was a little grainy. The broccoli and carrots cooked nicely though and it had good flavour. The nutmeg was a great secret ingredient! I only needed 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. This recipe makes 4-5 servings.

It is one of the best broccoli soups I ever had!

This is hands down the best cheddar broccoli soup recipe! My son said it’s better than Panera!

Me and my boyfriend loved it! I like a little bit of extra garlic taste, so I doubled up on the garlic but so delicious!

I think I added too much broccoli. I loved it but my family just thought it was okay. More for me, I guess.

Very tasty & easy! Because I love cheese I added some extra cheese!

IT GOT GREAT REVIEWS BUT WAS A BIT TOO SWEET FOR ME. WILL ADD MORE SALT AND LESS CARROTS NEXT TIME (I THINK WE ADDED MORE THAN A CUP)

As close the Panera soup as it gets! Careful not to heat to high or will be grainy. Family loved it!
Yummly User 2 years ago
Easy, quick, but next time I’ll use more cheddar. Seemed like that would make it tastier.
Yummly User 2 years ago
It was very easy to make and tastes just like panera. I made it exactly as directed.
Yummly User 2 years ago
Tastes just like the Panera soup. Easy recipe

Absolutely delicious and really easy to make best part is that you don’t have to cook it all day. I added paprika and I seasoned once when I put veggies in, again while simmering and the after the cheddar went in. Topped our bowls with a sprinkle of cheese, croutons and bacon bits 😋will be making again

Delicious, I did make it with velveeta cheese and sharp cheddar!! And substituted the chicken stock with vegetable! Will definitely make throughout the cold winter days!!

I worked at Panera for 10 years and this recipe was a perfect recreation. Do NOT skip the nutmeg, it’s not optional. And make sure you have the right amount of salt to tie this together.

This is really yummy!

I decided to double this for our family of 6, after I already added everything but the cheese. I didn’t have extra broccoli, so I just used the two crowns and about 3 carrots as the original recipe called for. I think that was plenty even with the extra liquid. I did use oat milk in place of the half and half so it was a little runny as expected. I had to make the butter/flour mixture about 3-4 more times for the right consistency. I also used an immersion blender for some of it but left it a little chunky. I didn’t measure the cheese. It’s still simmering on the stove but I sampled it and it tasted really good! I can’t wait for the rest of the family to have some! They keep stopping by asking what’s for dinner ☺️.
I also forgot to mention that I did precook the broccoli and carrots in the microwave after seeing someone mention they don’t cook well in the soup if they are raw.
Husband said this was the best broccoli cheddar soup he’s ever eaten ☺️🥰. Will definitely be making this again!
