Homemade Cheese and Broccoli Soup.

I don’t think it should be a secret that I love soups. They’re comforting and if done right, they are both light AND filling. I LOVE Quizno’s cheese and broccoli soup and just HAD to find a way to make it at home. Thanks to my mom and her network of friends I have a recipe to share with you all!  I usually find that I’m full after one bowl,and I usually serve it with crackers.

1.5 cups of Chicken broth

1/2 chopped onion

2 cups finely chopped broccoli 

1/2 tsp thyme

dash of garlic powder

bay leaf

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons white flour

1 cup milk

2 Cups Cheddar Cheese

salt & pepper

A shake of red pepper flakes

Makes about four servings.



In a pot combine broth, chopped onion and broccoli, thyme, garlic powder and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simme10 minutes Remove the bay leaf . 

In another pot melt the butter and then blend in the salt, pepper & flour. Add the milk all at once, cook & stir until thickened & bubbly.Add cheese- stir until blended.  Add the milk mixture to the broccoli mixture. Heat through & serve.
