I added chicken to the recipe and now my family wont stop asking me to make soup! I am now known as the soup woman. I have received cooking books for Christmas in an attempt to coerce the modified recipe from me as an exchange. Thank you for this new found power. I doubled the garlic, added two chicken breasts, pre cooked in a skillet over medium high heat in butter, salt, and pepper until browned and added with the cheese stage. I also added an extra cup of broth (bone broth) and i cooked a thinly chopped rib of celery with the onion. I recommend pairing this with sour dough toast. You can do it.

[@audreya4075]

I just made this and it’s arguably better than Panera and I didn’t even have the onion. My boyfriend who doesn’t even like this type of soup had two bowls. I’m not great at cooking but I felt so accomplished lol. Never going to buy broccoli cheddar soup from Panera again!! Delicious

[@keepsafeandsound6722]

Good on you. I'm thinking about doing it, but replacing the cream with coconut milk, what do you reckon? For health reasons.

Dean McKay i saw another comment saying that someone made it with coconut milk and that it turned out great!

[@gotanygrapes1443]

Made this for dinner tonight! Came out amazing! However, my recommendations would be to add 1 full med size onion (instead of half an onion), 3-4 carrots (I added 2 and it still wasn't enough for my liking), possibly double the paprika and add a handful of extra cheese ! I also added extra chicken stock. We had it with French baguettes for that "authentic panera bread style" and it was amazing! Thanks for the recipe!

Yes. But you can also use potato flour which works well. You can also leave out the flour and add cream cheese as the thickening agent and make it low carb. Potato flour can also be used to coat meat, fish, and chicken instead of flour for frying. It add crispiness. Check out Korean fried chicken recipes which uses potato flour or corn starch.
