This soup is a great way to use up leftover broccoli. I usually have some leftover after making a stir-fry or roasted broccoli.

I love that this soup is so easy to make ahead of time. I often make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

This soup is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, creamy, and cheesy. I love to serve it with a side of crusty bread for dipping.

I was looking for a broccoli soup recipe that was a little more interesting than the usual cream of broccoli soup. This recipe fit the bill perfectly! The Swiss cheese adds a nice tangy flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but this soup converted me! The cheese and spices really balanced out the broccoli flavor. I'll be adding this to my regular soup rotation.
