"Panera" Broccoli Cheddar Soup


I wasn't feeling well, and Mike wasn't 100% healthy either, so we wanted to have soup.  He loves Panera.  I don't understand why.  The food is ok, but the portions are so small for the price that have to pay for the food.  He wanted to get Broccoli Cheddar soup from Panera; I said that I would try to make it at home.  The fact that I had a Broccoli crown that needed to be eaten in my refrigerator did not impact this decision at all.

I found a "copycat" recipe for Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup, where I had most of the ingredients.  I didn't have the carrots, but I figured they were more healthy and tasty.  If I liked this recipe I could get carrots next time.

Mike said that he really liked the soup.  I felt that the broccoli was not as soft/tender as I would have expected.  I would throw in the broccoli earlier next time.  I think I also halved the amount of onion, since I don't like onions very much.
