Pre-shredded cheeses have anti-caking agents in them for preservation and causes the end product to be gritty!<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s important to remember that low and slow for adding the cheese is key. Remove the pot from the heat and add the cheese in small handfuls. Removing the pot from the heat will ensure your soup doesn\u2019t separate, while still maintaining enough heat to melt the cheese.<\/li>\n<li>Also make sure the added shredded cheese fully incorporates and melts into the soup before adding more. This will guarantee the soup stays creamy and smooth. If the cheese is added too quickly you run the risk of your soup becoming gritty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-does-this-taste-just-like-the-version-at-panera-bread\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does this taste just like the version at Panera Bread?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Yes and no! Our version is VERY similar to the one they serve at Panera, but we omitted the carrots.<\/em><\/strong> Why? Because we really wanted the focus to be on the broccoli and the cheddar&#8230;that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s called broccoli cheddar soup! It&#8217;s such a delicious and classic combination of flavors we didn&#8217;t want anything &#8220;fighting&#8221; the flavors if that makes sense. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>If you want carrots in your soup, no problem!<\/em><\/strong> Just add 1 peeled and diced carrot to the onion and celery (making a mirepoix) OR peel and cut 1 carrot into julienne strips and add them to your soup when you add the broccoli!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-make-ahead-instructions-for-our-broccoli-cheddar-soup\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make ahead instructions for our broccoli cheddar soup<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"h-make-ahead\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make ahead<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our soup can be made up to 3 days ahead of time, stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-reheating-leftovers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reheating leftovers<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To reheat, pour soup into a pot and place over medium-low to low heat. Stir soup occasionally to ensure it heats back up evenly. It\u2019s important that the soup comes back up to temperature slowly so that it stays thick, creamy and smooth. Reheating the soup too quickly can make the soup gritty and lose its body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you find that your soup still gets too thin after its been heated scoop 1\/2 cup of the warm soup into a small bowl and whisk together with 1 1\/2 teaspoons cornstarch until smooth. Pour mixture back into the pot, stir together and simmer until soup slightly thickens.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-can-i-freeze-this-soup\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I freeze this soup?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We really don\u2019t recommend freezing this recipe because the consistency will be very thin and the texture will be off (gritty) once it\u2019s thawed and heated back up. The cornstarch slurry trick also doesn\u2019t work nearly as well for when the soup has been frozen.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-best-way-to-serve-our-broccoli-cheddar-soup\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best way to serve our broccoli cheddar soup<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our favorite way to serve this soup is to ladle it into a crusty, sourdough bread bowl! The last bits of the soup absorb into the inner crust of the bowl and it&#8217;s so satisfying to tear away pieces of the soup soaked bread bowl and scarf them down as you finish up the soup.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.spoonforkbacon.com\/easy-broccoli-cheddar-soup\/?tp_image_id=21494\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spoonforkbacon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/broccoli-cheddar-soup.jpg\" alt=\"Broccoli cheddar soup in a bowl up close with shredded cheddar cheese on top. \" class=\"wp-image-21494\" \/><\/figure>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-video-container-21497\" class=\"wprm-recipe-video-container\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-video\">\n<div class=\"adthrive-video-player in-post\" data-video-id=\"axNPVZGV\" data-player-type=\"default\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-more-delicious-soup-recipes-you-will-love\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">More delicious soup recipes you will love<\/h2>\n<div class=\"feast-category-index  feast-recipe-index\">\n<ul class=\"fsri-list feast-grid-half feast-desktop-grid-fourth\">\n<li class=\"listing-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spoonforkbacon.com\/creamy-roasted-tomato-basil-soup\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.spoonforkbacon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/tomato-soup-pin4.jpg\" data-pin-description=\"The best Tomato Soup Recipe you&apos;ll ever taste!

Remove the pot from the heat and add the cheese in small handfuls. Removing the pot from the heat will ensure your soup doesn\u2019t separate, while still maintaining enough heat to melt the cheese.<\/li>\n<li>Also make sure the added shredded cheese fully incorporates and melts into the soup before adding more. This will guarantee the soup stays creamy and smooth. If the cheese is added too quickly you run the risk of your soup becoming gritty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span id=\"h-make-ahead-instructions-for-our-broccoli-cheddar-soup\" style=\"display: block\"><strong>Make Ahead Instructions for Our Broccoli Cheddar Soup<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"display: block\">Our soup can be made up to 3 days ahead of time, stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"display: block\">To reheat, pour soup into a pot and place over medium-low to low heat. Stir soup occasionally to ensure it heats back up evenly. It\u2019s important that the soup comes back up to temperature slowly so that it stays thick, creamy and smooth. Reheating the soup too quickly can make the soup gritty and lose its body.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"display: block\">If you find that your soup still gets too thin after its been heated scoop 1\/2 cup of the warm soup into a small bowl and whisk together with 1 1\/2 teaspoons cornstarch until smooth. Pour mixture back into the pot, stir together and simmer until soup slightly thickens.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"recipe-21497-nutrition\"
