One of the best things about fall is that it is finally soup season again!  

Don’t get me wrong… I eat soup all summer long. But there is just something about a big bowl of warm, comforting soup to take away the chill from a blustery fall day.  

One of the best things about this recipe is there aren’t many steps.

The entire recipe can be made in under 30 minutes start to finish. Plus, it’s very versatile. You can add whatever toppings you choose. I like to serve ours with crumbled bacon and grated cheddar cheese.  

Because broccoli is packed full of natural fiber, this soup really fills you up.

I used Swanson Cream StarterTM to make this recipe even easier.  It is the perfect base for so many recipes, such as these.
