So I married a soup lover! He loves soup! And wouldn’t ya know it…he passed his love for soup down to our kids. My daughter is a soup connoisseur…she can tell a good soup from a bad one and is very picky about what kinds she will eat. I find it amusing when my 7 year old orders soup for supper at a restaurant or instead of french fries. We always get that one eyebrow up look from the waitress.
In fact, she also does this with some veggies. If there is broccoli on the menu in any way then it better be on her plate. She has one little friend, the 8yo son of Janice over at Celebrating Family, that they will fight for each other’s broccoli. They will both order it and then eat their own as fast as possible so that the winner can eat the rest from the other plate. It never ends well. Someone is upset because the other got more. Seriously?!?! You’d think they were fighting over the world’s finest chocolate or something. Strange Kids!!! Kaylynn even asked Santa for steamed broccoli with butter. Santa forgot, so we never heard the end of it until I made some.
Do you see where this post is going? To my broccoli cheese soup, that’s where!
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 4 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for a minute or two. Pour in the milk and broth. Add the broccoli. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer on low until the broccoli is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
Puree soup using a blender (in two batches), immersion blender, or even a potato masher. Stir in the cheese and allow to melt. Taste the seasonings and adjust if needed. Thin with additional milk to desired consistency.
To make it a little heartier, stir in some diced ham or leftover chicken/turkey. Serve with extra cheese and crackers.

It is soup season and broccoli cheese looks like a winning combination.
This looks really nice! I’m not the biggest fan of broccoli but like your husband and son I do like soup! I remember when I used to only like the canned stuff and now I don’t touch it because I feel like I can make it myself so much better! Thanks for the recipe, I love the way you’ve put it in a bread roll as well – very inspired!

It seems like the love for soup will continue to run in your family.
I love broccoli and cheese, but never tried them together in a dish. I’m dying to try this recipe.
I’m off to my kitchen now.
Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe.

Nothing beats cheese and broccoli – other than them being in a soup! I have never tried to make it although it is one of my favorites. Another PIN for when I can swing the time to try it out!

You can never go wrong with broccoli and cheese. It was probably the one veggie my parents never had to fight us to eat.
