Better Than Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup

I was recently working on a massive project that is due this weekend. I clicked ‘save’ as I was making updates to it and got an error message. I cleared the message, my screens went black, and it was gone. I lost about 90% of my project.

I was so mad. I desperately searched Google for ways I could recover it. Nothing worked. As I sat there I thought, “I could sit here and keep wasting time being mad about it or I can get to work on recreating it.”

So I started all over. I wasn’t happy about it. It’s finally done and I am praying it will bless those who will be receiving it.

What You’ll Need

4 tbsp Butter

1/2 medium Onion, Diced

2-3 cloves Garlic, Minced

4 tbsp Flour

2 cups Vegetable Stock

1 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Black Pepper

1/4 tsp Paprika

3 cups Broccoli Florets

1 large Carrot, Finely Grated

2 cups Heavy Cream

2 cups Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

How to Make Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Melt 4 tbsp butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add 2-3 cloves minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

Add in 4 tbsp flour and whisk for 1-2 minutes or until the flour starts to turn golden brown. Pour in 2 cups vegetable stock, 1tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp paprika, 3 cups broccoli florets, and 1 large finely grated carrot.

Bring to a boil then simmer for 15 minutes, or until the broccoli and carrots are cooked through.

Stir in heavy cream and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese until cheese is melted. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
