BEATING THE PRICES OF EATING OUT - ONE MEAL AT A TIME SERIES 1 -3 Brocolli Cheddar Soup Instant Pot- faux Panera Soups

 

BEATING THE PRICES OF EATING OUT - ONE MEAL AT A TIME SERIES 1 - 3 Brocolli cheddar Soup - faux panera soups


Season of Soup, Stew and Chili's

It is here, the fall of 2023, the time for the chilly weather that makes you crave a good warm bowl of soup, or such. I am digging up all my recipes to share with you. The first one is a favorite and I enjoy making this one, because I always make enough to save for a pasta bake. So two meals for one. Can't beat that for these days where food it getting so high. Making your own soup, you know what you put in it, and that is important too. I think with prices so high that it is really important, because of costs, you will be trying to buys things on sale and marked down and I sometimes find that to be items of convenience that is packed with chemicals, sodium and just really don't taste so great.

Broccoli Cheese Soup - Faux Panera Tasting - Instant Pot

Ready in30 minutes

Serves 6 people


Ingredients

  • 3 cups broccoli (fresh/frozen)

  • 1 diced onion

  • 3 cloves of garlic

  • 2 diced carrots

  • 3 cups of broth

  • 1 tbsp of chicken bouillon

  • 1 tsp of salt and pepper

  • ¼ tsp of paprika

  • 1 cup of milk

  • 2 cups of cheese / (I use one cup and ½ block of velveeta cheese)

(if you like it thick you could add a little dried potato flakes)

Preparation

  1. Put the cheese and the milk to the side, we add that at the end. 

  2. Put the rest of the ingredients into the instant pot and give it a stir.

  3. Put the lid on, close the vent and put it on for 7 minutes.

  4. When finished, take your immersion blender and blend it to how you like it. I leave just a little bit of the broccoli showing.






IDEAS FOR ANOTHER MEAL

Leftovers you can save and add to pasta the next few days. We do a pasta bake with the leftover soup.
