Broccoli Cheddar Soup Recipe

Soup is one of the essential meals on chilly winter days. Broccoli cheddar soup is a favorite of most of the kids because of its creamy and cheese flavor.

Parents even love to have this soup because it contains various nutritional veggies like carrots, broccoli, garlic and cheese.

You can make broccoli cheddar soup in only 30 minutes. You can store the leftover soup in an air-tight container and refrigerate it for almost 3-4 days.

You can even freeze the soup. You have to place soup in freezer-safe zip bags. During reheating, you need to thaw the soup completely and then warm it on slow heat to avoid curdling.
