SOUTHWESTERN BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
This is a great recipe--full of flavor. The salsa adds just a little kick that is surprisingly delightful. I used evaporated milk in place of the milk and regular potatoes instead of hash browns.

Tips:
- Broccoli Selection: Choose vibrant green broccoli with tightly closed florets. Avoid wilted or yellowed broccoli.
- Broccoli Preparation: Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets and steam or boil them until tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Cheese Selection: Use a good quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor. You can also use a blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Parmesan.
- Breadcrumbs: Use panko breadcrumbs for a crispy coating. You can also use regular breadcrumbs, but they will not be as crispy.
- Seasoning: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder are all great options.
- Baking: Bake the broccoli dippers at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for a crispy coating. Baking them at a lower temperature will result in a softer coating.
- Dipping Sauce: Serve the broccoli dippers with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or marinara sauce are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
Southwestern Broccoli dippers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, game days, or a quick and healthy snack. With a crispy coating and a flavorful cheese filling, these dippers are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a fun and tasty snack, give these Southwestern Broccoli dippers a try!
