Now that the nights are getting colder and darker, many people are looking for easy comfort food to make and help boost their mood this winter.
Cheddar broccoli soup is not only delicious and perfect for anyone craving something cheesy, but it is also incredibly simple to cook up in less than 30 minutes.
In a recent interview with the Express, food expert Phil Bianchi from The Gift of Oil explained that the key to making a “great soup recipe” is making sure it is packed with dairy, vegetables and hearty stock.
He said: “As long as you have those three key ingredients, no matter the variation, you’ll be guaranteed a good soup full of flavour.”
This cheddar broccoli soup recipe not only contains all of these ingredients but is the “perfect [autumn] meal” according to cook Amanda Francis, who has shared how to make this creamy yet cheesy soup in a video online.

Add in your stock and bring the soup to a soil. Add your broccoli and carrots, then reduce the soup to a shimmer.
Let the soup simmer for around 20 minutes or until both the potatoes and broccoli have softened.
