Tips

  • Roast your broccoli for about 20 minutes before adding it to the soup for extra layers of flavor.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg when adding in the cheddar to bring out more flavor.
  • Adjust seasonings to your liking, and use common sense with quantities; the recipe does not have to be exact.
  • If you don't like chicken bouillon, use vegetable bouillon or omit it.
  • If you're allergic to nutmeg, do not use it.
