Broccoli Cheddar Soup

This was great! I'll be making it again. We topped it with everything bagel seasoning, which I definitely recommend.

This was divine! I’ve tried other broccoli cheddar soup recipes before, but this was by far the creamiest. I was a bit nervous to add that much smoked paprika, but glad I stuck to the recipe. It balanced the texture and flavors perfectly. This will definitely be in my soup rotation!

Woohoo! So happy to hear this, SarahLou, thank you 🤗✨

Can I substitute the cashews with another nut?

Heyy Natasha! Thanks for the question. We haven't tried it, but blanched almonds (without the skinds) could maybe work. Almonds will give a slightly grainier texture though, and I'd recommend soaking overnight in water to help soften them a bit. I'd then recommend blending them a little longer to help remove some of that graininess. Be sure to give the soup a taste test as well, and adjust it as needed 🤗

Loved it! We did halve the smoked paprika since ours is pretty strong. It would have definitely been overpowering otherwise.

Loved it! Easy to make, cheap and is great for a grey November day.

Wow this was so cheap to make and delicious!!! LOVE IT

For me, it was "half a victory": my partner absolutely loved it, while I was not the biggest fan ^^ I think the part that made our judgement differ is on the "heaviness", he loved it but I was not that much into it. Overall the taste was great, I just used romanesco cabbage instead of brocoli but otherwise kept the same recipe! I will probably do it again for my partner, he said it felt like a "cheat meal but in soup shape"!

So glad your partner enjoyed it, Nohya! We were aiming to achieve a similar texture to traditional broccoli cheddar soup, which does tend to be a bit heavier. That said, I can see how our version might not be for everyone. If you have leftovers, you could try adding a bit more broth to lighten it up a touch ☺️
