Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe
My family is full of soup lovers. In the cooler months, soup is on the menu at least once a week. I love how it warms you up when it’s cold outside, but I also love how you put together a delicious, hearty recipe with ingredients found in your pantry or refrigerator (or whatever leftovers you might have).
This recipe is no exception. It consists of frozen (or fresh) broccoli which I typically have in the freezer. The creaminess comes from a combination of cream of chicken soup and Velveeta which I almost always keep on hand.
There’s many different versions of broccoli cheddar soup. This particular one belongs to my sister’s mother-in-law, and it’s made its way to my table. I’ve also enhanced this basic version into another family favorite that contains pork sausage. You can find that recipe here.
Serve this creamy soup with these copycat Olive Garden Garlic Breadsticks!

Notes About Broccoli Cheddar Soup without Chicken Broth Recipe:
