The Best (And Easiest) Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Soup Recipe– a yummy, and I do mean yummy Soup loaded with bites of chicken and broccoli that the whole Family will love!
We make this soup all the time at our house! It’s absolutely delicious. It’s also a great choice for feeding a big family while still remaining on the frugal side. My hubby ate a bowl & I ate a bowl for dinner and still had six Tupperware’s to pack in the fridge. I also found it to be great for packing up those leftovers for my hubby to take to work and quickly pop in the microwave for a fast reheated meal.
What You Can Serve With Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Pair this mouthwatering Chicken Broccoli Cheese Soup with an appetizing side for a tastefully pleasing meal the family won’t be able to get enough of. Some good side dishes to serve with this are breadsticks, a side salad, baked potato, grilled cheese sandwiches, quesadillas, cornbread, sweet potato fries, stuffed peppers, onion rings, and sliders.
The Best Chicken To Use In Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Soup
You can add any chicken you prefer to this recipe. Fresh bought chicken is the best to use in my opinion but I also have used this Tyson brand Chicken that is pretty good. I used it this time as well shown in photos.
