Better Than Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup

I was recently working on a massive project that is due this weekend. I clicked ‘save’ as I was making updates to it and got an error message. I cleared the message, my screens went black, and it was gone. I lost about 90% of my project.

I was so mad. I desperately searched Google for ways I could recover it. Nothing worked. As I sat there I thought, “I could sit here and keep wasting time being mad about it or I can get to work on recreating it.”

So I started all over. I wasn’t happy about it. It’s finally done and I am praying it will bless those who will be receiving it.

My Grandma always expects the unexpected. She is always prepared for what she doesn’t know is coming! I can’t say the same. For that reason, I like to have easy recipes on hand like this Broccoli Cheddar Soup! It would go perfectly with Easy Focaccia Bread, The Best Cornbread, or my Grandma’s Homemade Oatmeal Bread! Or, you can serve it in a bread bowl!
