Winter is fast approaching and it is time to dust off the soup recipes and warm the dinner menu’s up a bit.
So I dug through my personal cookbooks and found the best Broccoli and Cheese soup recipe.
This recipe is cheap to make, so very easy to prepare and if you double or triple the batch it will make the perfect make ahead meals to freeze for lunch or dinner for next week.
Make Ahead Meals
Easy Cheesy Broccoli Soup
Personal Cookbook
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Meal Preparation Ingredients:
- 3 bunches of broccoli
- 1 quart of half and half
- 1/2 cup of margarine
- 10oz. bottle of cheese whiz
- 2 cans of chicken broth
- 1 1/4 cups of flour
Meal Preparation Directions:
1. Cook broccoli. Then set aside.
2. Heat margarine, half and half and chicken broth over medium heat until slow boil.
3. Slowly add flour while stirring briskly.
4. Cook until mixture becomes thick.
5. Add cheese whiz and cooked broccoli then heat over low until hot.
Meal Assembly:
Serves 4- 6 – I serve this soup in a bread bowl with 4 or 5 saltine crackers and a side of fruit for a complete meal that is kid approved and healthy.
TIP: This soup is the perfect make ahead meals recipe as it holds well during reheat so double or triple the batch for lunch and dinner next week.
My kids are broccoli freaks. This was so good and they loved it. We had a little that would have been left over so I had planned on freezing it but my 2 little piggies went back for seconds so we had none left to try the freezer. This is one meal I will be making again soon. Please do more recipes like this again! Thanks!!!!
Thanks for the comments and I will dig up some more YUMMY soup recipes!
This sounds good. I usually do a soup and sandwich night, but the bread bowl eliminates the need for a sandwich, eh? I think I’ll try it with just some Cheddar rather than Cheese Whiz.
Ellen, That actually sounds good please let us all know how it works out. My kids love cheese and it might actually be cheaper to use cheddar rather then cheese wiz and it might thicken it up also. Please leave a comment and let us know how it ends up. Thanks!!!
I love soup recipes just because you can substitute many ingredients and come up with some great results. Thanks for comments and ideas you guys are awesome. Oh ya and Ellen, I tried the microwave brownies, a HIT!! Love it, I am going to link to your recipe as it is the perfect cheap and easy recipe.
