I know y’all remember getting Broccoli & Cheddar Soup in Bread Bowls from Panera growing up… and trust me when I say this recipe tastes JUST like the real thing! It’s so creamy, comforting, and the perfect winter warm you up type of meal.
This soup is made beautifully cheesy thanks to Follow Your Heart’s Finely Shredded Dairy-Free Cheddar Shreds! They really level up this soup and are something you don’t want to miss on!
