This healthy broccoli soup is very quick to make, and it’s delicious, too! Top with parmesan cheese and serve with crackers for a tasty meal.

There’s nothing like a delicious bowl of soup on a cold day! I love broccoli soup, and I used to really like the creamy, rich, cheesy versions found in restaurants. I do still like that type on occasion, but now I prefer a lighter, recipe – this healthy broccoli soup.

This is my favorite broccoli soup – it’s very quick, flavorful, and gluten free. I adapted this recipe from Betty Crocker’s Quick & Easy Cookbook.

If you want to be a little less healthy, you can top this broccoli soup with cheddar cheese and bacon crumbles.  We also enjoy it with gluten free crackers. If you are vegan, use vegetable broth, and just leave the sour cream out. It is still really delicious and has a lot of flavor. If you want to make preparation even quicker, go ahead and use frozen carrots, onions, and broccoli.
