Crock-Pot Broccoli and Cheese Soup
One of my favorite restaurants is Panera. I love their bread and their soup and salad. This recipe is similar to the Broccoli and Cheese Soup you get from Panera. I could make this soup every week and still not get enough of it.
The soup comes out very creamy and cheesy. Don’t feel afraid to add more chopped broccoli to the soup if you like more broccoli. This will just add to the soup.
I have use both fresh and frozen broccoli. Both are equally tasty, but the frozen broccoli can be a little more convenient.
