Steps to make Broccoli Cheddar Soup:

- Add bay leaf.
- This is where I add my salt and pepper. I start out with 1tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. You can adjust to your preference.
- Bring soup up to a gentle boil, medium-high heat..let simmer for 10 minutes.
- At this point, I use my immersion blender. I’ve got kids that would die if they knew onions were in this. This way, you dont sacrifice flavor over the tastes of picky eaters.
- I threw about 1/2 tsp salt in and dumped my broccoli in. My broccoli was mostly florets,but I also left a head, with more stalks…for texture. Completely up to you..
- I lightly simmered, for 20 minutes. Or until your broccoli is tender.
- Remove bay leaf.
- Once you have tender broccoli, remove a couple cups of broccoli to a bowl. I used the immersion blender again, in the soup.
- Return the chunks of broccoli to the soup.
- Add cream cheese and cheddar cheese.
- Stir all that yummy cheese until it melts into the soup. 😆
- Ladle up and enjoy!! - I served this in bread bowls. Delicious!
