Week 4: Broccoli Cheese Soup


Since today is Super Bowl Sunday, I just had to find a way to use this new mug I received this past week.


The mug was a gift from a co-worker for my semi-retirement celebration last Thursday. It was filled with Vanilla Caramel Latte and Hershey's Dark Chocolate with Almond Nuggets. Mmmm....someone knows me pretty well.

Since it holds a lot more than the one cup of coffee I usually drink, I decided it would make an awesome soup bowl instead of a coffee mug. So, my super mug became a super bowl (or souper bowl, if you prefer).


Next came the arduous task of choosing which recipe to make. I have several soup recipes; and on this cold, dreary day, they all looked really good. I finally settled on a copycat version of Subway's Broccoli Cheese Soup.

Fírst I washed and diced the vegetables.



After sautéing them in butter, I added the frozen broccoli


and the broth


and simmered for 15 minutes.

I'm now ready to add the milk and shredded cheddar cheese and simmer another 30 minutes.


Ready to eat. Will it taste as good as it looks?


Yum!! Jim and I both really enjoyed the soup very much. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
