Creamy Cheesy Broccoli Soup

When it comes to soup, I am all about creamy deliciousness!  There is just something about a bowl of hot and savory soup that makes my heart melt!  And there is not a better time to enjoy a bowl of soup than a cold, Wisconsin day!  As much as cold weather makes me want to cry, I am a person that always likes to find something positive in every situation.  And let me tell you, this Creamy Cheesy Broccoli Soup can definitely turn a cold day into something sensational!

Someone very special gave me this recipe, and  I can still remember the day I received it.  My bridesmaids asked everyone who attended my bridal shower to bring a recipe along for the bride-to-be!  It was so fun to see the variety of new dishes and desserts I now held the key to.  This particular Creamy Cheesy Broccoli Soup recipe was given to me by my high school volleyball coach, and she was sweet enough to include a little note with it.  

Every time I am whipping up a batch of this delicious Creamy Cheesy Broccoli Soup, I read her kind words of advice.  I am also reminded of so many things.  Obviously, I think about my days on the volleyball court and all of those amazing memories.  But even more importantly, I remember the lessons that my coach taught me over the past 20 years that I have known her.  So, a steaming bowl of this Creamy Cheesy Broccoli Soup may taste superb and warm me up, but it is also a reminder of just how lucky I am to know an amazing person!

Now it's your turn!  While this Creamy Cheesy Broccoli Soup doesn't take long to make, I hope you take a second to think about all the beautiful in your life and just how blessed you are!  Happy cooking!
