I’m not sure about where you live, but here in Texas we have entered Fall weather. It may only last today and tomorrow, but the temps have dropped into the low 70s!

In our house, Fall weather = Soup for all the dinners. We love sitting down with a warm bowl of soup after a long work day. The Hubs spends quite a bit of his work day outside so he definitely enjoys something hot and filling on these cool, rainy days.

This Simple Broccoli Soup is so delicious! It’s creamy without the addition of actual cream. It tastes so good and is so easy to make. It’s easy enough that the kids could help! Plus it’s just comforting, exactly how soup should be.

POSSIBLE RECIPE ALTERNATIVES:
  • Add Extra Veggies: Feel free to toss in some other veggies you might have laying around! Caulflower, Spinach or Kale would be delicious additions.
  • Change Up The Cheese: Not a huge fan of cheddar? Throw in some Pepperjack, mozzarella, gouda, or your family favorite cheese.
  • Make It Vegan: Simply switch out the stock, use vegan butter, and use your favorite vegan cheese or sprinkle on nutritional yeast.
  • Throw On Some Toppings: Top the soup with crunchy croutons, chives, or even some crispy bacon. Plus you are always welcome to throw on some extra cheese.
