This Broccoli and Parmesan Soup is rich, creamy, and totally delicious. This one-pot meal is perfect for chilly fall and winter evenings. Yum!
The classic broccoli cheddar soup has always been a favorite of mine. But this broccoli parmesan soup is a nice change of pace - with a lighter and fresher flavor. But still warming and comforting for cool winter nights.
Beautifully colored and rich in flavor, this soup is prepared quickly and with very few ingredients. And that makes it just perfect for a weeknight meal.
And of course, broccoli is full of vitamins and healthy nutrients, so you can enjoy it without any restriction! Which is great, because I ate about four bowls of it. 😉
This Broccoli and Parmesan Soup is:
- Made from scratch with fresh broccoli.
- Easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.
- Packed with flavor.
- Rich and creamy (without adding cream!)
- Vegetarian-friendly.
- Gluten-Free.
Oh, and it's a great way to get the kids to eat those veggies!
Tips & Tricks
I recommend using an immersion blender to puree the soup. But if you don't have one, you can transfer it to a regular blender for that step. Just be careful handling the hot soup!
This Broccoli Parmesan Soup is perfect for meal prep! It will keep for 3-5 days in the fridge, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
Just defrost and reheat on the stove when ready to serve. I do recommend freezing before adding the parmesan, and stirring that in when you reheat.
