I love Broccoli Cheddar Soup, and I always wish it had a little more protein to help me stay full longer. So I tested and tried methods to discover that it\u2019s easy to add split peas to the mix to get the best of all of the soup worlds!<\/p>\n

Split peas are so often overlooked as an affordable source of vegetarian protein that blends in perfectly in this broccoli soup. They are also straightforward to cook, so simply letting them simmer in broth until soft does the trick.<\/p>\n

Each serving of this Healthy Broccoli Cheddar Soup has almost 20 grams of protein, 10 grams of fiber, and a solid dose of Vitamin C.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plus, it\u2019s a great family meal alongside crackers, muffins, or biscuits<\/a>\u2014AND it also freezes wonderfully. Win, win, win.<\/p>\n
