Cheesy, creamy, irresistible: the art of the perfect broccoli cheddar soup.
How to prepare the American classic and how to refine it.
Here comes a real piece of American comfort straight from the small Panera Bread Shops (popular American bakery-café chain): the copycat recipe for a wonderful broccoli cheddar soup.
A true classic of American cuisine, this soup combines the best of both worlds - crunchy vegetables and melty cheese in a creamy base.
It is the perfect comfort food for cold days and brings a warm, hearty note to the table.
If you can't get enough of the combination of cabbage and cheese, it's worth taking a look at the recipe for cauliflower cheese soup.
Another American classic that has been refined with broccoli is the recipe for mac and cheese with bacon.
For anyone looking for a quick snack between meals, the solution is in the recipe for broccoli fritters.
Rich in flavor and easy to prepare, this Broccoli Cheddar Soup recipe is a favorite for any season.

Preparing broccoli cheddar soup is so easy:
Heat oil and butter in a large soup pot until butter melts.
Add the broccoli, carrots and onions and sauté until the onions are translucent and the broccoli is tender, about seven to eight minutes.
Add garlic and sprinkle flour over top and cook, stirring frequently, for another two minutes.
Deglaze with milk and whipped cream and stir again.
Then add chicken broth.
Season with salt, garlic powder, paprika powder and black pepper and bring to the boil.
Let simmer for about five minutes.
Finally add cheddar and stir until completely melted.
Enjoy!
