Happy Friday!! It has been a bit chilly here lately, so I wanted the hubs to make a meatless soup to warm me up! He is the cook in our house! :)
He decided to try a recipe for Broccoli Cheese Soup he got from www.food.com.
It was yummy! So I thought I would share the recipe with you, our faithful readers!

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese

4. Add the broccoli, carrots and onions. Cook over low heat 20-25 minutes.
5. Add salt and pepper. Can be puréed in a blender but I don't. Return to heat and add cheese. Stir in nutmeg.
It doesn't taste exactly like the one from Panera Bread but it is pretty close!

We had sour dough bread with it. Absolutely delicious!
Try it this weekend! It is a great fall meal!
Enjoy your weekend!
