Copycat Panera Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe

Copycat Recipe - Panera Broccoli and Cheese Soup

My absolute favorite soup of all time is Panera’s Broccoli and Cheese. I don’t even care if its hot outside if I am going to Panera I am going to have a cup, or bowl.. or tub.  It’s pretty pricey, however, and not always convenient especially when you live in a rural area. Now that the weather is cooling off soup is going to be a main staple in my house, why not stock up on my favorite?

After a few tries this is about as good as it gets, this is truly very close to Panera’s  version. Make a double batch, have some for dinner, and freeze the leftovers, ha ha not likely, maybe you better triple it.  To freeze, allow leftover soup to cool completely and spoon into freezer bags, press out as much air as you can and seal bag, lay flat in freezer for optimum space. Don’t forget to label the bag with contents and date.  To reheat pull bag from freezer, allow it to thaw in fridge, simmer over low in saucepan until heated through.

In a large pot or dutch oven, sautee onion in olive oil, set aside.
