I’ve always loved the Broccoli Cheddar Soup at Panera, so I was so excited to find this recipe to make it from scratch!

My review? This recipe is spot on. It tasted exactly like the Panera soup to me – just as delicious. (I used veggie broth instead of chicken broth) However, when actually seeing the ingredients that go into this soup, I didn’t feel that great about it. It’s largely cheese, half and half and broccoli.
So while this is great if the Panera soup is what you’re looking for, I’m going to hunt for a recipe that has some more nutrition in it – maybe more veggies – and maybe less half and half. Stay tuned for a healthier alternative.
