So simple and easy to prepare but full of flavour, i absolutly love a good broccoli and cheddar soup. my version packs in all the extra greens for a nutritonal boost to keep our immune systems fighting fit. Pair with an additional protein, I like to add some shredded chicken and serve with toasted sourdough for dunking.
