I made this tonight, crazy in summer I know but my daughter loves broccoli cheddar soup and was dying to try to make it. Huge hit, everyone loves it! Thank you for sharing!
We love soup in the summer :) So glad it was a hit!
I’d like to try this but would need to substitute vegetable bullion for the chicken.
Does this soup freeze well? as anyone ever tried to freeze it?
Caroline- I put some leftovers in the freezer and pulled it out for another meal. It seemed fine. My kids gobbled it up. Great question!
Had anyone tried a GF option for flour?
Lisa- You could definitely make this GF. Thanks and enjoy!
