Expert Tips & Tricks
I love my cheddar broccoli soup thick and chunky with big pieces of broccoli, but if you prefer it smooth simply toss it in the blender after the cheese has been added and melted. Pulse for a minute or two until desired consistency is reached! Pre-shredded cheese doesn’t melt as well as freshly shredded cheese. You won’t notice it too much in this Panera copycat broccoli cheddar soup, but for the creamiest consistency, shred your own mild cheddar. This Panera broccoli cheddar copycat soup will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 6 months.
