I know this was posted 4yrs ago. But I don’t know if it’s because it’s Fall right now or what but I keep seeing Panera soups all over social media at the moment. I also saw a TikTok today of a woman upset that she waited in line for 15 mins for broccoli soup at Panera only to come home and find the large container only had 3/4 cup of soup in it. Panera responded and offered to make it up to her. So now I’m all about Panera and I don’t have one where I live. Out of all of the copycat soup recipes I’ve seen I think I trust yours more than anyone. I’m going for it! Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do it right 🙌🏻
2+ years of making this exact recipe, thank you so much for helping me saving my cravings and saving my wallet! This is one of my favorite recipes of all time!
Wow, I just made this. So good! Thank you for the recipe. I just discovered Panera about 2 months ago and love their broccoli cheddar soup. Kind of expensive tho. Now I can make it myself! Thanks again.
My daughter is jumping up and down about this recipe. She only orders this soup at Panera also in their bread bowl. She has got her boyfriend addicted to it now. This will go into her folder along with other family recipes. She is calling it Shelby, The Queen's Cabinet Broccoli cheese soup. She wants to try this immediately. Off to the store she goes. -Connie
I am so glad you tried the recipe, i t is just like Panera's. Sometimes I make it for our boys just to take for school lunches, and they love it. :D Shelby
Guess what I made?We have only 2 going 3 inches but the wind is horrible it just howling.This soup was so good and hit the spot.Yummy for the tummy.Blessing Kat:-)
I have never eaten there before I’m just thinking it’s a restaurant..right? Anyway I’m going to make this in a few days . I just finished making vegetable soup. So I’m going to need to find out how to down size this for two people. Thank you for this recipe.
Even though we have one now, I've never been to Panera. Your soup looks amazing! Way too rich for me :( but I can see where I could do some alterations and still have a decent soup. Thank you for the inspiration!
Molly you could absolutely make a few changes, I often make it with fat free half and half and 2% Velveeta. We have to travel an hour to Panera, so I'm thrilled to have found this recipe. Shelby
TheQueensCabinet :-(Me too I live at 5th and nowhere:-) This looks great.I am going to try this for sure. I just planted broccoli in the greenhouse.And i am still counting Brussels sprouts in my sleep.:-)
Going to get the ingredients for this soup, Just looked so yummy from the video. Hey and about the granite, we live in PA, just moved here from FL. Needing soup to keep warm and toasty in this chilly climate. We are pricing out granite from a few places, the bourdeux ones seem to be my fav.
Beth the soup is amazing, just like Panera's. We got our granite from "Affordable Granite & Cabinetry Outlet, Inc" out of NYC, they travel 5 hours and did a fantastic job. Very professional and the cheapest from our 11 quotes Ken got. I bet they are close enough to you. Shelby
Hey thanks, I will check them out, the fact that they came from 5 hours away surprising. I know now that I love the bourdeux, I just dont want spots.I hear you when you talk about budjet, and I just dont know what it SHOULD cost. I will decide on the color and get more quotes as you suggested. and Making the soup today.
Beth Bilous I would have preferred to seen it in person, but we were living in California at the time. They sent photos of the slabs and we got lucky the stone was just as depicted. If possible I would recommend picking the slabs out in person.
I totally agree with choosing in person, hey would you want to say why you moved from Cal to NY? if not thats fine. Folks think I'm nuts for moving from Fl to PA. I'll share my reason if you wish
I love this soup too. SO Good !! I have 3 questions... have you since found a version of this that you like more? Have you ever made Zuppa Toscana soup? And finally... I'm searching for a recipe for Ruby's Pear Marmalade... it had grated fresh pears, maraschino cherries and crushed pineapple. Its an 80's recipe . Have you ever heard of it?
I like this soup a lot, I tend to add grated sharp cheese to it. I haven't heard of the other two though. If you find them will you share. i tend to love the 80's recipes. Shelby
oh my goodness how delicious! as you know we dot have Panera here in Australia Shelby. i have to make this for sure, I'm curious as to how good it tastes. thanks love. xx
TheQueensCabinet awe you're a doll Shelby let me see if I can get some online here at a site that sells USA imported foods. If I can't I'll let you know. Love you girl thanks so much ❤
see at the end how the oil is separated from the soup, that's because you added the cheese during cooking. you should have done it at the end after the heat was off. Also you steamed the broccoli separate. you should have boiled it right in the stock so the flavors don't run out. still looks good tho
about how much does this yield. trying to decide if i should double recipe. my elderly mom is having shoulder replacement surgery soon. also do you know if this freezes well?
Hi Jen it makes about 12 cups of soup, I have never frozen it so I'm not sure if it freezes well. I'm not sure if you or maybe your mom has a food saver but we used to meal prep for camping trips when the kids were little. I would portion out individual food saver bags of say roast beef and gravy, and then another bag of mashed potatoes, and then another bag of blanched veggies with a pat of melted butter, salt and pepper. Then when we went camping, we would just boil a pot of water and throw the frozen food saver bags into the water to heat up. Delicious and hardly any clean up. I have also made frozen individual pot pies and Shepherds pies that bake off very well. Bless your heart for getting everything ready for your mom. God Bless Shelby
TheQueensCabinet I know this is an old post and maybe you have figured it out. The shoulder surgery is long healed by now. If you change the recipe and exclude the roux, but saute everything in the butter, and end the soup with a Non-GMO corn starch it will definitely freeze well. Rouxs only freeze well when they are thinned for gumbos. Bechemel chowders tend to seperate and the water crystals over tenderize the ingredients. I hope this helps in the future.
Looks fantastic. But does anyone notice that Paneras version seems thicker and less runny? And I love onions but doesn't mention Onion in the ingredients on the back of the container. I'll try this recipe for sure though.
TheQueensCabinet Hahaha!!! I'm actually a husband who's indoor cooking skills aren't the greatest! I'm usually tending the grille or the smoker. Told my wife I needed to figure out how to make Panera's soup. And this is where your help earned myself some brownie points with the Mrs tonight! Cheers 🍻 Happy New Year's to ya!
This looks incredibly yummy. You must have a few people in your family, just me and hubby and we don't eat a lot in one sitting. Can you put this in the freezer? If not I am gonna have to rework the numbers , but it looks like it will be worth it. Have a wonderful day everyone!!!
Awe thank-you so much for getting back to me about this and other comments. I will definitely do the numbers then and give it a shake. Have a lovely day!!!
Velveeta is "pasteurized processed cheese food." Velveeta is not real cheese, but is beloved because it melts so beautifully, unlike cheddar and most (real) cheese, which tends to break apart, oozing grease, when heated. This is why Velveeta - and other processed "cheese foods," such as Kraft American slices and Cheez Whiz, have a place in our American pantries and hearts (which are no doubt clogged with these fatty products, but that's another story and the reason I rarely use it).

Moreover,brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you,which also ye have recieved,and wherein ye stand;2 By which also ye are saved if ye keep in memory what I preached unto, unless ye have believed in vain. 3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:5 And that he was seen of Cephas,then of the twelve. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God :9 Not of works lest any man should boast. 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin: that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. 25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say at this time, his righteousness: that he might be just ,and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Please receive the free gift of eternal life that is in Christ Jesus, and God will give you his righteousness. God bless.

Molly you could absolutely make a few changes, I often make it with fat free half and half and 2% Velveeta. We have to travel an hour to Panera, so I'm thrilled to have found this recipe. Shelby

I’m literally about to make this now, r u sure that half cup of butter, looks like a full stick. Just asking so excited to see how it comes out!!
Going to get the ingredients for this soup, Just looked so yummy from the video. Hey and about the granite, we live in PA, just moved here from FL. Needing soup to keep warm and toasty in this chilly climate. We are pricing out granite from a few places, the bourdeux ones seem to be my fav.

Did you travel 5 hours to see it
Beth Bilous I would have preferred to seen it in person, but we were living in California at the time. They sent photos of the slabs and we got lucky the stone was just as depicted. If possible I would recommend picking the slabs out in person.
I totally agree with choosing in person, hey would you want to say why you moved from Cal to NY? if not thats fine. Folks think I'm nuts for moving from Fl to PA. I'll share my reason if you wish

oh my goodness how delicious! as you know we dot have Panera here in Australia Shelby. i have to make this for sure, I'm curious as to how good it tastes. thanks love. xx
It is really good Angie. Do you have Velveeta cheese in Australia?
TheQueensCabinet we used to have it Shelby but not anymore. What cheese could I sub instead?
I'm not sure there is a substitute, but PM me and I'll send you some.
TheQueensCabinet awe you're a doll Shelby let me see if I can get some online here at a site that sells USA imported foods. If I can't I'll let you know. Love you girl thanks so much ❤
FitAngie Just let me know, I'll be glad to send you a box of American treats. Luv u too.
Mmmmm so cool!
see at the end how the oil is separated from the soup, that's because you added the cheese during cooking. you should have done it at the end after the heat was off. Also you steamed the broccoli separate. you should have boiled it right in the stock so the flavors don't run out. still looks good tho
This recipe looks amazing! How many servings does this make?? Also is that white sharp cheddar cheese?
Manuela it makes 10-12 servings, and yes I like the sharp cheese. So delicious!
TheQueensCabinet thank you so much!! I will be making this for our Sunday dinner! 😊
about how much does this yield. trying to decide if i should double recipe. my elderly mom is having shoulder replacement surgery soon. also do you know if this freezes well?

You could add a tablespoon or more flour if you want it thicker. Have a Happy New Year! Shelby
TheQueensCabinet
Thanks Shelby! In the process of making it right now so fingers crossed!
Holy hot Damn! This recipe is unbelievably fantastic! Thanks for sharing it with us all out here looking for a Panera recipe!
Told ya girl, it tastes just like Panera's. :D Hugs Shelby
TheQueensCabinet
Hahaha!!! I'm actually a husband who's indoor cooking skills aren't the greatest! I'm usually tending the grille or the smoker. Told my wife I needed to figure out how to make Panera's soup.

She said, "I don't even look at the menu!" Lmaooo😁😁me either
This looks incredibly yummy. You must have a few people in your family, just me and hubby and we don't eat a lot in one sitting. Can you put this in the freezer? If not I am gonna have to rework the numbers , but it looks like it will be worth it. Have a wonderful day everyone!!!
To be honest I have never frozen it, so I would try and scale down the recipe. It is a really great copy cat recipe. Hugs Shelby
Awe thank-you so much for getting back to me about this and other comments. I will definitely do the numbers then and give it a shake. Have a lovely day!!!
Have you tried the creamy chicken and wild rice soup? I can't get enough of it, I wish I could make it at home :)
I haven't made that yet, but yes it is yummy! Shelby
Do you know if Panera uses Velveeta? I would NOT like to include that since it is a highly processed food and not real cheese.
Is it salty because of the velvetta cheese
No, I only add a little when sauteing the onions and even with the Velveeta it was perfect....just like Panera. Yum
Crockpot version ?
What kind of the white cheese is it ?im going to make this tomorrow .
Sharp Cheddar
Does chicken broth still constitute meatless?
I'm in the UK, what is valvita cheese? What could I use as an alternative I could use, we don't have any here .

I guess I could just get the kid to bring some home for me instead of make it, lol.
That would be nice.....you are "spoiled rotten". hahahahaha give Hank a scratch on his ear for me. Shelby PS I'm loving your videos!
Thanks, just did, lol. Felicia my middle daughter works at Panera.
Our closest Panera is an hour away sigh....
yummy and easy to follow. I just made it 😊😁👌
Hey sweetheart I can't find the links that you sent me for the Freezer and Pantry sheets would you mind sharing again this time I will copy and put in my notes 📝 Thx Shey
Hey Shey
Scattered Squirrel has both on her page;
scatteredsquirrel.com/2013/10/day-2-taking-inventory/
Shelby
Thx so much I feel like a scattered squirrel LOL 😂 It's on my iPad not my phone Lol Saving to notes Now!!
I think you added everything too fast. In the beginning it looked Skype soupie
But why velveetaaa eww
Way to watery for me. I like a nice thick hearty soup. I was hoping that it would look thicker in the bowl, but of course you didn't stir it.
It's not a recipe share; it's theft.
OMG!!! Made this today and it was DELICIOUS!!! I've made the soup b4 without velveeta and that really made a difference this time. Great recipe!!!
