I’ve heard it said that Broccoli Cheddar Soup is really an excuse for adults to eat nacho cheese dip with a spoon and call it a meal. I can’t say I completely disagree.
While traditional broccoli cheddar soup gets its richness from heavy cream, this recipe is lightened up with Philadelphia cream cheese. The cream cheese is a great substitute for the heavy cream in this dish and you don’t lose any of hearty and comforting vibes that are characteristics of broccoli cheddar soup.
I like to serve this broccoli cheddar soup with a side salad and toasted bread. You can also heat up leftovers in the morning and pour into a thermos to take on the go.
