My family LOVES a good soup on a cold night. We are getting snowed in tomorrow, so it will be a perfect time for soup.
Wow!! These look so great, I know my family will really appreciate something nice and hot after being in the cold this winter!
I am all about the broccoli cheddar soup! It’s my favorite kind of soup but not something I have ever made! Definitely should one day!
Any time I’ve made broccoli-cheese soup, it seems like something is missing. I think adding garlic is the key!
It’s an excellent choice as a starter for guests coming over without spending a lot of extra time.
I love soups and stews in the winter. I’m going to try your broccoli cheese soup tomorrow night with some crusty bread!
It’s currently in the 30’s in Florida, we are totally experiencing a cold snap.All of these look so great!
This looks delish! I love soups in winter, it is the task of preparation that always stops me from making soup. I like how easy this is though.
This used to be my favorite soup when I was vegetarian. I need to play with the recipe and make it vegan.

Broccoli and cheese soup is my favorite comfort soup! I love dipping toasted Italian bread in it! So delicious 🙂
Soup does sound like a good idea during the cold months. I actually had a cheese and broccoli soup not to long ago.
