This easy roasted broccoli and cheddar soup can be made in 20 minutes and served as a main course or as an appetizer. I love to bring it for a filling but light lunch.

Jonny absolutely loves broccoli. He could eat it with every meal so when I asked if he wanted broccoli soup for dinner I wasn’t really surprised that he was all for it. I love that it is lower calorie and he loves that it is full of cheese :p

You don’t have to roast the broccoli first but I love the added flavor it gives the soup. I have made it without roasting it, with leftover broccoli as well as from frozen broccoli from the store and they all turned out great!

You can puree it until completely smooth or leave it with bigger pieces, that is up to you! We like ours a little chunkier so there are pieces to bite. I find a meal seems more filling when you have to chew it a little :p A completely silky smooth soup is perfect for serving to friends.

I used the leftover soup the next night for a one pot pasta and it was amazing! I used 1 cup of soup and 1/2 cup of water to every cup of noodles. I will do a one pot pasta post soon but thats the basics for now 🙂
