Broccoli cheddar and potato soup

For me, making delicious food is self-care, and this easy broccoli cheddar and potato soup is the ultimate comfort food 🤗

I woke up this morning with a sore throat and that nagging feeling I’m about to get sick 😔 So I took it easy all day and decided to make this yummy soup for dinner 😋 I paired it with a slice of bread that I baked yesterday.

This soup is super easy to make and only requires 6 ingredients, most of which I usually have on hand. I make the soup with zero waste by buying the broccoli, potatoes and onions without packaging; buying the cheese at a cheese counter using my own container; and refilling the olive oil and vegetable broth powder at a bulk store. After chopping the vegetables, I put the scraps in my compost bin 💚

What do you like to cook when you’re feeling under the weather? Please share your recommendations because I don’t think this soup will last long! 😂
