I know, I know...MORE SOUP! I do my best to share with you what we're eating at home, and the truth is, right now we're eating a lot of soup! I hope you aren't totally over the soup situation, because this Broccoli Cheddar Soup recipe is one you have to try!
I have a love/hate relationship with broccoli cheddar soup. Most of my experiences with this classic have either been really, really good or really, really bad. The really good ones are thick and creamy, with big chunks of broccoli, and a hefty dose of real cheddar cheese. The bad ones are plasticky and overly rich--almost like you're sucking nacho cheese sauce straight out of a shady looking street vendor's cart.
Because of this conundrum, I'd kind of given up on Broccoli Cheddar Soup for awhile. Then, a few weeks back I forgot to customize my produce order through Green Bean Delivery, and I found myself in possession of a few large heads of broccoli. Normally, I would simply roast it up for The Best Broccoli of Your Life, but for some reason I wasn't in the mood. Previous dinner plans went out the window, and I scoured the fridge and freezer to figure out what I would make that week.
