One Pot Broccoli And Zucchini Cheddar Soup
These chilly winter days call for all the Soups like this one pot broccoli and zucchini cheddar soup. It’s cozy, creamy, full of herbs and vegetables, and totally delicious. This soup is made simply in one pot with Zucchini, sharp cheddar cheese, herbs, and plenty of broccoli—It’s such a delicious and kind of a healthier take on broccoli cheddar soup. Im not here to challenge Panera Bread’s broccoli soup, I’m just here to give you another way of making it!
Here are the step by step details:
This recipe includes most of the ingredients found in traditional broccoli cheddar soup, but I added zucchini, for creaminess and didn’t any flour or heavy cream and instead I used coconut milk. so its creamy yet light while still being a filling soup.
When I tell you this soup is easy, I’m not kidding. The vegetables get cooked in one pot along with prosciutto, herbs, onions, garlic and veggie stock then its pureed in the same pot until thickened then the coconut milk and the cheese gets added for that cheddar taste that you’d expect from this soup. This leaves the soup lusciously creamy and thick without having to use any cream or flour. Which of course also makes the soup healthier and even gluten free.
Did I mention its all cooked in the same pot?
If you have a slow cooker, use it—Highly recommend.
So before you blend, you can leave out a few of the broccoli pieces to add another texture to the soup.
After the soup has been blended to your liking and the consistency you prefer, you can either toast some bread cubes in the oven along with pieces of prosciutto to top it off like I did, OR you can toast some crusty bread and serve it that way.
If you want to add more veggies to the soup, you can add carrots, cauliflower to even a few pieces of butternut squash! If going completely vegetarian of course, omit the prosciutto. its just as tasty without it!
