BROCCOLI SOUP WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE
"As a student at Bloomsburg University, I spent many Sunday afternoons at Russell's restaurant in downtown Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania," writes Marganne Hoffman of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. "A decade after graduating, I still crave their cheddar-crusted broccoli soup. I would be thrilled if the owners would share the recipe-and so would my family." The stems and florets are added to the soup separately so that the stems will cook until tender and the florets won't overcook.

BROCCOLI SOUP WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE
This is a nice soup from Bon Appetit. Be sure to use fresh tarragon for the best flavor. This soup is not thick and creamy, so sometimes I puree half of it for a creamier texture.

Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets are best for this soup, as they will retain their bright green color and crisp texture. If you don't have fresh broccoli on hand, you can use frozen broccoli florets, but be sure to thaw them completely before adding them to the soup.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still slightly crisp. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese: The type of cheddar cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the soup. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor, or a mild cheddar cheese for a milder flavor.
- Add some spices: A little bit of garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper can really enhance the flavor of the soup. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped bacon are all great toppings for cheddar cheese broccoli soup.
