Cheesy Vegetable Soup is jam packed with tender vegetables in a creamy cheesy soup. This soup has amazing flavor and is so comforting in the winter!
The weather has been so weird here in Utah since we got back from Disneyworld. Not too cold, and today it has been raining. Utah weather is so strange which means we should brace ourselves for a big snow storm. That is usually how it works.
But I can’t seem to get enough soup this time of year. It is perfect for a chilly day and so comforting. Since the New Year is here, it is time for some more veggies since they didn’t make much of an appearance for the Holidays! This soup has so many yummy veggies, and you won’t be able to get enough of this creamy, cheesy soup!
What is in cheesy vegetable soup?
This soup is packed with so many yummy veggies. Broccoli, Cauliflower, Celery, Carrots, Onions, and Potatoes. Then it involves a creamy and cheesy base that makes this soup amazing!
Everything combines in this soup to bring you a hearty, veggie-filled delicious soup! Our entire family loved this soup and it is even better served in a bread bowl. It makes the perfect healthy soup for a chilly night and will become a new family favorite!
