Cream of Broccoli Soup

This recipe is a cheesy version of the classic Cream of Broccoli Soup. It takes only about 20 minutes to prepare and is just as good leftover as it was the first time. I always found it odd that there was no added milk or cream in this recipe. It’s creaminess comes from the cheese. …

Storm Day Meal Prep

A memory …
