Three Cheese Broccoli Soup
Three Cheese Broccoli Soup combines tender broccoli florets with a rich blend of cheddar, havarti, and swiss cheeses for a creamy, comforting dish. The soup’s base is a flavorful mix of butter, flour, and seasonings, thickened with chicken broth and milk, then finished with whipping cream and subtle spices including garlic powder, nutmeg, and white pepper. The inclusion of Worcestershire and hot pepper sauce adds a gentle depth to the creamy texture and mild cheese flavors.
