Cream of Broccoli Soup is one of our favorite quick and easy meals at any time of year! Perfect for lunch, or an easy weeknight dinner with salad and loaf of french bread. The best part is that this broccoli cheese soup is ready in 20 minutes to start to finish!
This is one of my boy’s favorite soup! When I used to take them to buy school clothes every year, we would go to Brick Oven in Provo, so they could get some Cream of Broccoli Soup! Now that Ben is grown, he whips up a batch all the time!
I know it’s getting warm outside but soup is a good choice at any time of the year and especially now that you are looking for some comfort food!
