Cheesy Broccoli Soup Recipe
For making this delicious Homemade Creamy And Cheesy Broccoli Soup Recipe you will need fresh broccoli and carrots. For making the creamy base, lightly toast flour in butter and then whisk some milk in it. Add vegetable broth and bring the mixture to boil. Then add chopped broccoli. I like to use this vegetable chopper because it is so quick and easy but also chops my veggies in a uniform size. The add the grated carrots and cook for some time. Once the veggies are cooked add grated cheddar cheese and some heavy cream. You can use this grater on both the carrots and the cheese, it is so much easier to lean than some graters. Serve warm with some croutons or toasted bread slices for a light lunch/dinner.

I love this! I am writing vegetarian recipe round ups on my blog in 2018 (to encourage people to try meatless monday- everyone has to start somewhere) and would love to feature you. You can check out my blog (for beginner environmentalists) at sunshineguerrilla.com. Is it alright if I share this link to your recipe?

I have prepared this soup 4-5 times now & my husband loves it!! I enjoy it too. I tweaked the recipe because of food allergies. I hope to try out more of your recipes.

I have made this recipe for my family about a dozen times since finding it! It is their favorite, and they are always asking me to make it for them and it’s so easy to make. Thank you so much for sharing.
Penny says
Yum! I’ve made this soup quite a few times & my husband absolutely loves it! We have food allergies so I subbed other products to make the soup. I used: Tapioca flour in place of regular flour. Coconut oil instead of butter. Coconut milk in place of regular milk. I also used coconut yogurt in place of the cream. We can tolerate raw goat cheese & I add Nutritional Yeast to the soup for more cheesy taste. I spice it up with Tumeric, Cumin & Paprika. Thank you for the foundation to a really good soup!! I can’t wait to browse through your other recipes.
Rachael says
Thank you. It sounds like you made some great substitutions.
