Sandy's Homemade Broccoli and Cheddar Soup image

I found many recipes for broccoli Cheddar soup. I changed many of the ingredients in those recipes. This is the recipe I came up with. It's the best one yet. You don't need all the extra ingredients to make it. Just basic ingredients. and it's delicious. I think it tastes just like Panera®.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the broccoli was overcooked. I wouldn't make this soup again.

This soup is amazing! I've made it several times now and it always turns out perfect. It's so creamy and cheesy, and the broccoli is cooked perfectly. I love that it's a one-pot meal, so it's easy to clean up. I highly recommend this recipe!

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.
