Broccoli Cheese Soup

broccoli and cheese soup recipe

With fall in full swing, I often find myself contemplating the amazing beauty it brings. In my world, the loveliest thing about this season is comfort food (what else is new?). And confetti colored leaves. And warm blankets. And Holiday cookies looming on the horizon.

Mmmm, sweet sweet fall.

With the above mentioned mood in my soul I prepared a really comforting soup for you today. It combines broccoli, carrots and a lot of cheese and is deliciously creamy. The epitome of comfort, don’t you think?

You can find all the necessary details below…

Enjoy!

With love,
Petra
