you're making mealtime meaningful.
There comes a turning point in the year when we go from enjoying as much time as possible outside to wanting to stay bundled and cozy indoors. At that point, there’s really nothing more that we want than a hearty pot of soup to fill us up and keep that familiar warmth around us.
While we love our collection of family recipes that require starting our soup or stew in the morning and letting it sit and simmer away all day, we like to have a quick and easy dish to turn to that comes together in minutes and only needs five ingredients…just five! Here, we made up a shockingly delicious broccoli cheddar soup that, just by tasting it, we’d never guess it was so easy and quick to make. Finish work and take it easy, this soup is the perfect way to (easily) end the day!
