This one pot, weeknight friendly Light & Healthy Broccoli Cheddar is packed full of fiber rich veggies...
When my son was younger, he pretty much refused to eat any vegetable that was green. It didn't matter how I prepared it or tried to hide it, the second that he saw a hint of green he would scoff and turn his nose up at it.
But that all changed the day he had Broccoli Cheddar Soup from Panera for the first time. I am not sure what made him try it that day, but he was hooked... and he was eating broccoli, folks!
I wasn't going to question it. ;)
There are tons of copycat recipes floating around out there for Panera's Broccoli Cheddar soup, so what makes my version so special? Because A. It is 100% vegetarian. B. No cornstarch or flour was used to thicken this soup thanks to my secret fiber rich ingredient. & C. Despite all of these healthier changes I made to this beloved recipe, my son was clueless. He gobbled down a bowl of this, exclaimed how much it tasted like Panera's, and then went back for seconds...
