About this recipe

This has to be one of the best bowls of Broccoli Cheddar Soup we’ve ever made! Rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The aromatic veggies (onion, carrots, and garlic) are simmered and joined by our Aneto Vegetable Broth, adding even more tasty, veggie-fueled elements to this soup–even before we add the broccoli and cheddar cheese!!

A great option for Fall, perfect for lunch or dinner. Reheats well too!
