This Easy Copycat Panera Broccoli Cheese Soup is an easy soup to make and it’s ready in less than 30 minutes! This is deliciously cheesy, amazingly rich and creamy, and it has plenty of fresh broccoli (cut into itty bitty pieces of course) dotted throughout. Good for serving at luncheons or special gatherings with a quiche. The perfect bowl of comfort food without leaving your house!
