TWENTY MINUTE CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP
I just have to share this quick and easy cream of broccoli soup recipe with you today. It is SO EASY, there is no excuse not to make it – and honestly, you can substitute the broccoli for any veggie – cauliflower, spinach, carrots, I think you can experiment and make it what you want.
I’ve made this soup with the ‘traditional version’ as well, which takes a little more prep and cooking time, so I’ll be sharing both ways of making it in today’s post.
As much as I enjoy it, I have very little time or energy to cook, so meal planning is often a stress for me. This cream of broccoli soup recipe will save you so much time, you will be jumping for joy…it’s so yummy too, you’ll want to save this one, trust me!
Oh, and you can make it ahead of time, and even freeze it if you want. This is a quick post, so let’s get right to it!

TWENTY MINUTE CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP
When we built our home, we designed the layout of the kitchen for easy meal prep – the end of the island is where I do all of it and I can easily turn around to cook at the stove, and navigate either to the right or left, to the refrigerator or sink…this is where it all happens.
In case you’re new here, we recently updated our kitchen with brass hardware and it makes such a HUGE difference in this space. You can take the tour here and see it all.
I said this would be quick so let’s get back to this delicious recipe!
You can scroll down to print the actual recipe, and as I mentioned, I’m sharing the quick version and the traditional method as well.
