There’s nothing more comforting than a warm, hearty bowl of soup. Not just any soup will do, though—this rich and creamy broccoli cheddar soup happens to be extra special. It’s made with a base of flavorful chicken broth and sweet light cream, and it's chock-full of broccoli, cheddar cheese, and spices. We wouldn’t leave you hanging without something to dunk into your soup, either: dip in crispy garlic bread to soak everything up. The best part? All you have to do is heat it up and dig right in! One slurp will have you bowled over. Nutrition values are representative of a 1/3 bundle serving.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

1

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place bag in pot; cook for 20 minutes, then carefully remove. (Caution: Bag will be very hot.) Cut one corner with scissors and pour into a serving bowl.

2

MICROWAVE ALTERNATIVE: Cut one corner of the bag; pour soup into a microwave-safe container. (Do not microwave in cup.) Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high, stirring halfway through, 5-6 minutes. (Caution: Container and soup will be very hot.)

3

GARLIC BREAD: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place garlic bread on a lightly-oiled baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Separate garlic bread into slices and serve.

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: The soup is rich and creamy with a taste many compare favorably to Panera; some found it a touch bland or thin and added extra cheese to boost flavor 🍲.
  • Ease of prep: Both the boil-in-bag soup and oven-baked garlic bread are very quick to prepare, making this a great low-effort lunch or dinner.
  • Suggestions: Heat the soup for the full recommended time — stopping early can leave a grainy texture; add extra cheese or seasoning if you prefer a richer, thicker result.
  • Portions: A few customers wished for more soup and a larger loaf of garlic bread, especially when serving three or more people.
  • Broccoli: Several customers would have liked bigger or more plentiful broccoli chunks for better texture and a heartier bite.

Wow! Soups from other meal kit services have proved tiny in size and disappointing in taste. This Broc cheddar was a touch on the thin side but so flavorful that we agreed it was at least as good as, if not better than Panera's!

Delicious! Had to fight off the family for the garlic bread. Soup definitely needs to be heated for time stated, if you stop too soon the texture is grainy, but if you do as instructed the texture changes to smooth and tasty!

The Broccoli Cheddar Soup was excellent. And the garlic bread was great, too. I melted a little brie on top of the bread - just because I am a cheese lover!

It has a tiny spice to it, but it was so good. My daughter, said it should have more bigger broccoli pieces:). My son said it was perfect by itself and to dip his bread in.

I rated it 3 stars because the broccoli cheddar soup is middle of the road and could be improved. However, the soup+garlic bread kit in general is definitely a good deal! That cup is filled very close to the top, and I enjoyed the garlic bread, too. I will *definitely* purchase the soup+bread kits again, though I'll be trying your other soups!

The soup was good, the bread was great. The soup had some sort of spice that gave it heat. I did not know this at all and it was way too spicy for my young daughter. I will have to double check foods from now on. I didn't see any label that said spicy. Nor did I expect it from a broccoli cheddar soup.

Soup could have used more pieces of broccoli but very good flavor. Bread always great with any meal.
