Broccoli Cheese Soup

5 from 2 votes
I made this broccoli cheese soup 2 years ago after I had Panera Bread's broccoli cheese soup. The intention was for it to be a copycat recipe but guess what Panera soup could never!!! This is the best broccoli cheese soup recipe with the most incredible trio of Pecorino Romano, muenster, and sharp cheddar cheese. Added bonus, after reading this recipe card you're going to have two recipes in one. If you hold the cheese and do everything else except add the cheese you'll have a delicious cream of broccoli soup, but either way you have to make it!!!!!!
