Broccoli and Sharp Cheddar Soup
I recently found an easy broccoli and sharp cheddar soup recipe on Wives with Knives. The soup looked so rich, creamy, and delicious that I just had to try it. This easy broccoli and cheese soup recipe was easy to make and a big hit with all of us. This creamy, cheesy broccoli soup paired nicely with a loaded garden salad and some crusty bread.
