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!
