Hearty Chicken Broccoli Soup Recipes

EASY CHEESY CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large pot, let butter melt on medium high until foamy. Add onion and let brown and soften, about 6 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add garlic and shallot and cook until just fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add in broccoli and toss, let cook until bright green and shiny - slightly soft - about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in stock and velveeta and bring to a rapid boil. Reduce heat to simmer 10 minutes. Turn heat off and stir in heavy cream and parmesan, whisking as you add into the soup. Return to medium heat and let simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pre-cooked boiled chicken to the soup and stir to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy!
