When temperatures start to fall, it seems like I can’t wait to fill my tummy with warm soups, stews and chili. That yummy, soul soothing food is what I crave this time of year. But, with marching band season still in full swing, there’s not a lot of time to make those things that take hours of simmering away on the stove. Which is why my 15 minute broccoli cheddar soup is always a dinner time fave in the cooler months. Since all of the ingredients come from the pantry and freezer, I always have what I need on hand and can whip up dinner faster than I could order take out.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 shallot, finely chopped (you could use 1/4 cup onion instead)
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 2 cane Campbell’s cheddar soup
• 12 oz bag of frozen broccoli florets
• salt & pepper to taste
• shredded cheddar for garnish

Directions:

Cook the broccoli in the microwave for 10 minutes or until completely cooked. While the broccoli is cooking, make the base.

In a heavy bottom large pan, cook the shallots in the olive oil for 1-2 minutes until softened. Pour in the chicken broth into the pot and reduce for 4-5 minutes. Add in the cheddar soup and whisk together. Once it is all well combined, add in the broccoli and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes to combine all the flavors. Add salt and pepper to taste, because reducing the chicken broth will make it fairly salty. Garnish with shredded cheddar.
