It's a favorite of kids because of it's creamy texture and cheesy flavor, and loved by parents because it's secretly loaded with a ton of nutritious veggies. Not only that, it's some of the best soup I've ever tasted, period. If you like Panera's broccoli cheddar soup, this blows the pants off it. I kept the soup vegetarian by using low-sodium vegetable stock rather than chicken stock, and made it healthier by using fat-free half-and-half. This is a great, very flavorful soup.
