    Flavor

    The package I got did not look like the one on display. Mine had a lot of red bell pepper. I ended up picking them out as it was simmering and the soup still had a strong taste of the peppers. The main flavor should be the broccoli.

    One of my favs

    Made this for the first time last night. It's thick and hearty and very tasty. I'm not a fan of the peppers, will pick those out next time, but the rest was perfect.

    I added a whole bag of frozen broccoli to this and the kids loved it! Top it with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar. Easy way to get kids to eat veggies!

    Excellent broccoli cheddar soup

    Posted by Shelley on Nov 14th 2023

    I added fresh broccoli, some carrots, onion, garlic and celery to this soup. It was the best. I didn't have half and half or cream but used one cup of evaporated milk instead. i also added a little grated parmesean cheese to the recommended amount of shredded cheddar cheese. agreat meal by itself or with a sandwich. My son added sliced beer brats to his soup.

    In love with your soup mixes!

    Posted by Kerri B. on Nov 16th 2022

    We recently discovered your soup mixes and have tried three (Arizona Sunset Enchilada Soup, Idaho Outpost Potato Leek Soup & tonight, the Virginia Blue Ridge Broccoli Cheddar Soup). Whole family loved them all. Especially great for us is that the ones we have tried are vegetarian, so we can easily substitute vegetable broth/bouillon for chicken broth, and vegetarian protein options (by Boca, Gardein or Quorn) that mimic the meat the package calls for, and in half an hour we have delicious vegetarian soup! Next we will try the Jambalaya (made with What, ham substitute, and vegetarian "shrimp." Can't wait to try all the varieties! -Kerri Bradley
