We got a few more inches of snow, so I thought it was the perfect time to make some homemade soup.
I looked through my Pinterest recipe board, since I am still trying to make all of the recipes I've pinned, but I wanted to use ingredients I already had on hand. (Why go out and buy more food when I have a full pantry?) I had 2lbs of frozen broccoli and a full bag of shredded cheese (both from Sam's Club), so the most logical soup choice would be broccoli cheddar, and since I am a total Panera fangirl, I just had to try this copycat recipe.
Remember THIS awesome bread recipe I reviewed?
I used it to make these paninis! (That was pretty obvious, huh?)
Like most of you know, I used to work at Panera Bread and I am still
obsessed with their food. One of my favorite paninis was the (now discontinued)
Chicken Bacon Dijon. I worked at every station at Panera and I usually
made all of the paninis each weekend, so I knew what was in it. What's
to stop me from recreating it on my own?
I love Panera’s Summer Corn Chowder soup. When I worked there, I

evolved and I moved on to teaching, so I have been looking for a recipe
to make my own supply, and I may have finally found one! It isn’t 100%
perfect, but this is REALLY close to Panera’s seasonal soup!
Like always…I made a few modifications:
