How To Make A Creamy Cheesy Broccoli Soup Your Kids Will Love

Last Updated on June 6, 2020

Creamy Cheesy Broccoli Soup is a classic meal that everyone loves. I, especially, love that kids will eat broccoli easily when in this delicious soup. This recipe is fast, simple, and tasty. Just what I and every other mom out there needs on a busy weeknight.

Creamy Cheesy Broccoli Soup

I confess that soup is a weakness of mine. From our creamy Macaroni and Cheese Soup to the classic upscale Slow Cooker Guinness French Onion Soup, I am always a fan. I love being able to sit down to a warm bowl of soup after a long day, and even more love that this broccoli soup is a perfect option for lunches. With such a simple recipe, this is going to be a favorite for your family.

I love the idea of using a dutch oven to make this recipe. It is actually one of my favorite kitchen tools. A dutch oven is a great beautiful and functional pot for use on the stovetop, in the oven, and straight to the table. Of course, I am going to want fewer dishes. So, making this broccoli soup in a pretty dutch oven, then sitting in the oven on warm until dinner time is ideal. I can bring it directly to the table to serve easily.

1. In a large pot or dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the onion until translucent 8-10 minutes.
2. Add in the 1/3 cup of flour and stir while the mixture is thickening.

4. Add in the broccoli florets and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until softened.
5. Add the cheese and allow it to melt.
6. Puree 1/2 of the soup in a food processor or blender. I like using a potato masher to keep things chunky and simple.
