Tips for making the best broccoli cheese soup

Make sure you keep the temperature at a consistent heat and that it doesn’t get too hot. If it’s too hot when adding in the cheese, it will clump up. 

Broccoli florets should be chopped. This recipe tastes great with both frozen broccoli or fresh broccoli.

You can puree the soup. You can use a immersion blender or a regular blended to mix up the soup if you prefer less clumps. By doing this, it will give you a creamy broccoli soup.

How to store leftover broccoli and bacon soup

Place any leftover soup into an airtight container and place in the refridgerarter. It can be stored for 3-5 days. 

Reheat the soup in the microwave. Or for best results warm the soup on the stovetop over low heat. Blend the soup while it is reheating. 

Can you freeze broccoli cheese soup?

Yes! Soup season is here and I like to always keep a few soups stocked in the freezer for nights when I don’t want to cook. 

Once you have made the soup, let it cool to room temperature. Then place in freezer safe container or freezer bags. That it in the refrigerator the night before you want to serve it. 

You can then cook it on the stove top or slow cooker on low for 3-4 hours. Stir occasionally or use immersion blender before serving.
