oh my goodness! It is such a great tasting soup! It should be famous...not almost famous! I made a few changes,but otherwise, it was good. Pretty close to Panera's. I would make it again! I'm 13 years old, and I made it myself, no help. It's super easy!

this soup is delicious!!! i definitely recommend this recipe. i pretty much followed it exactly, the only little diffrence was i used the amount of cheese called for in the recipe(i used extra extra sharp white cheddar, that i grated then bought already grated extra sharp orange cheddar to garnish...so good!

My husband and I really enjoyed this. The only changed I made was using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth as I am a vegetarian. It came out a bit thick, so next time I might add a little skim milk to it at the end in addition to the water it suggested. I was really easy to make.

not inedible, but wouldn't make again. couldn't find my go-to delicious broccoli cheddar and gave this a try - from my impression - don't.

*i did go on to doctor it up a bit to give it some taste, but was only able to get it to "decent or good enough".*

Eh...it was alright. I wouldn't brag about it or anything. I have another recipe that is far better. I think perhaps using rendering from bacon would add some good flavoring to it.

I made a few changes to mine, I omitted the spices and used a sharper white cheddar. I also bumped it up to a whole stick of butter and i didn't blend the soup, I left the broccoli florets whole. It was an awesome soup, my husband went back for thirds ;-

I thought this was a really good soup. I love Panera's and this wasn't quite there. I made it exactly as written; using an immersion blender. The cheese gave it a grainy texture. The next time I make this soup, I will use Velveeta Cheese to see if I get a creamier texture.

YUM! I have never had the one at Panera Bread...but I miss the one from Chili's. This one is way better. I used 1c heavy cream, 1c 2%, sharp NY white, and California Natural yellow cheeses. Taste each time you add something to judge the salt. I ended up adding about 1/4tsp each time an ingredient was incorporated. I didn't blend the soup either. I diced the carrots and cut the broccoli at a bias to get it tiny before even adding it. I like the color the diced carrots brings. Making Rosemary Bread from pinterest to go with.

Awesome! Loved it. I didn't puree it though, I just used a potato masher to mush down the broccoli, carrots and onions. It was fairly easy to do because the veggies were cooked well. It gave the soup more of a texture and the bits of broccoli and carrots made it look so pretty. I also just used regular extra sharp cheese that I grated. Didn't make the bread bowl either, just served it up in bowls as an appetizer. Perfect!
