Looking for some inspiration for dinner?
Here is a really comforting recipe for creamy Broccoli Cheddar soup. The recipe calls for chicken stock but I am a vegetarian so I usually substitute vegetable stock instead- either way is delicious.
I actually don’t care for broccoli but this soup I enjoy frequently so it is a great way to get some veggies into your belly and it really is very quick to put together.

Sounds super yum my! Thanks for posting. I’m on a low carb diet and it’s difficult to find creamy soups that don’t have flour in them.
