Panera Broccoli Cheese Soup

Made this for the 1st time...it was delish! Not as thick as I'd like so will try and thicken with corn starch next time. Used Colby cheese as that's all we had and it was yummy!

Good base for sure! I had to thicken it because it was too runny for us, even after pureeing 1/2 of it. (But perhaps I just prefer thicker, creamier soup). It was bland in flavor but that's easy to taste and adjust.

Very bland

I did shallots instead of onion. No carrot in mine because I didn't have one but I usually add it. I also used white cheddar cheese with the sharp cheddar

Definitely add extra seasoning it’s a little bland but damn 😅 Panera who? 😮‍💨

It was my first time making this and this was delicious. I will make this again for lunch.

Great soup. I only had Vermont white cheddar do it didn't look great, but taste was amazing.

This was good, but as mentioned by everyone else, it is pretty plain in the spice department. I took everyone's advice and added garlic (sauteed with the onion), garlic salt, onion salt, mustard powder and a little Tabasco sauce. I thought it needed more cheese than indicated and it was still way thinner than Panera. It was easy to make, but took me way longer than indicated in the recipe and I really think it needed to simmer longer if you want the same tenderness as the restaurant. I served it with fancy-schmancy Wal-Mart sourdough (which definitely did not hold a candle to Panera sourdough:)

Good! Easy, could use more flavor. Added garlic powder, a little mustard powder and salt / pepper. Next time, add more.

Wow! This was the most delicious experience. Definitely will become a repeat.

I say this a lot, but yum! Hubs threw out my carrots, so we had to do without. But honestly, such a simple recipe!

This recipe was awesome. Shared it with my brother who does not eat soup. He loved it

Really good soup, could stand a bit more seasoning

I added bacon and it really flavorful.

Instead of the nutmeg I added onion powder and garlic powder. Delicious!

Add more seasoning. Cajun. Omit the nutmeg. Salt to taste.

p good , even my brother had seconds and he usually doesnt . i think next time id use a lil less flour or substitute with a bit of cornstarch , bc the cheese does thicken it some . its a lil light on the flavor imo , so maybe adding a bit more seasoning or spices would be good if you want it to have a bit more uhhhh flavour

I added double the onions and sauteed then with a good amount of garlic. I also blended the entire soup. It was delicious. It's VERY cheesy! Could half the amount of cheese and it'd still be really yummy.

Added more cheddar. And couldn't find sharp yellow cheddar so we had medium yellow cheddar. Very good. Wife enjoyed (very picky)

I threw everything in the crockpot and it tasted great!
