This one-pot stove top skinny broccoli cheddar soup is so easy and simple to make and is entirely made from scratch! It is so comforting, cheesy and creamy!

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

You only need a few ingredients to whip up this cozy and healthy Skinny Broccoli Cheddar Soup! This soup is filled with an abundance of broccoli and gooey cheddar cheese that melts in your mouth. It’s a perfect combination!

Instead of using heavy cream, I used milk and a little butter to make it extra creamy and luscious.  Since I don’t often eat at Panera Bread and I LOVE their broccoli cheddar soup; I made my own that tastes even better! PLUS I know exactly which ingredients went into this soup.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE THIS SKINNY BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP

Olive oil
Butter
White onion
Broccoli
Carrot
Milk
Djion mustard
Cheddar cheese
Corn starch
Chicken broth

Soup is a staple in our home and it is so comforting on a cold evening. This can be served with crusty bread or my favorite…bread bowls!  Since we have our wedding in a few short months (time is going by so fast!) I am trying to load up on as many veggies as I can and eat less carbs. I love devouring my veggies especially when they are in soups!

MOM TIP

This Skinny Broccoli Cheddar Soup is a great soup to make if you are trying to sneak in extra veggies for your kids! You can load up on the carrots and broccoli in this soup and they would’t even know. I also like to add cauliflower to this soup as well. I like to use my immersion blender for this recipe but I only blend half because I love chunks of broccoli in every bite. Adding shredded cheddar cheese and green onions makes this exceptional!

Notes

I highly recommend getting an immersion blender. I absolutely love mine and it is so convenient and easy to use when cooking. You can find them almost anywhere such as Macy's, Target, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

      Hi Val, yes you could also use frozen broccoli to make this soup. Just make sure to remove any excess water if possible from the frozen broccoli once thawed. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
