Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Soup – Quick, Cozy, and Healthy

This soup can be served with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat the soup on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of broth or milk if the soup thickens too much.

Variations:

For a vegan version, substitute the butter with olive oil, the broth with vegetable broth, and omit the cheese or use a plant-based cheddar.

Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

For a smoother soup, blend longer until it’s velvety and ultra-creamy.
