Broccoli Cheese Soup

OH my word. Now this is heaven. My hubs is gonna be so thankful when I whip this up as he LOVES that soup. And pretty sure this will make me fall in love with it too (I always get their chicken noodle!).

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Do you know what happens when you take two very very healthy vegetables, broccoli and carrots, and marry them with milk and cheese? You make them very very… delicious!! Actually, the taste is beyond delicious. This soup is seriously, SO GOOD! One of the things I could not eat as a child was broccoli, but put a bowl of soup with it in front of me (with cheese), and I was game. This probably goes for most of you, too. Those green trees just weren’t very appealing back then. Even now, for some.
