Broccoli Cheddar Soup
One of my favorite soups at Panera, so I decided to make it at home so that I know exactly what I am putting into my favorite soup. This soup is super easy and super delicious!
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
The Creamiest and Cheesiest Soup ever!

- 2 Celery Stalks, diced
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 4 tbsp AP Flour
- 2 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Instructions
- Prep work:Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets. Skin and shred the carrots. Dice the onion and celery. Shred the cheddar.
- Into a large pot, melt butter and then add the onion and celery. Saute until the vegetables have softened a bit.
- Then add in the flour and cook the flour out for a few minutes. Using a whisk, slowly add in the broth, whishing continuously so no lumps form. Then add the milk and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Then add the broccoli and carrots. Allow to simmer until the broccoli is fork tender, about 20 minutes.
- Once the broccoli is fork tender, add in the cheddar cheese and stir until it has completely melted. Turn off the heat once the cheese has melted.
- Serve with a crusty piece of bread and enjoy!
