BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP – The Southern Lady Cooks

If you love simple recipes that really hit the spot, this broccoli cheese soup is easy and delicious!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love easy recipes and this soup is simple. Comes together really quickly and has a great flavor. This soup is really versatile and one your family will love. It’s made with chicken broth and is really creamy. We use Velveeta, but you can switch it up; we’ve found that it melts really well.

SWAPS & ADDITIONS

You can switch out the cheese in this recipe to suit your taste. You can also leave out the onion and use onion powder instead if you prefer. You could also add cauliflower to this soup it you like. Want to add some protein? Add some rotisserie chicken!

⭐TIP

For a hearty way to enjoy this soup, serve it in a bread bowl. Alternatively, you could top it with croutons for a little extra something, or even add chopped bacon too. Of course we love it with our fried cornbread.

I don’t ever bring this to a boil, but just cook on low heat.
