Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the bag of soup in the pot and cook for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the bag (it will be very hot). Cut one corner with scissors and pour the soup into a serving bowl.
- Microwave alternative: Cut one corner of the bag and pour the soup into a microwave-safe container (do not microwave in the cup). Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high, stirring halfway through, for 5-6 minutes. Caution: Container and soup will be very hot.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the garlic bread on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Separate into slices and serve alongside the soup.
Recipe Tips
For a thicker soup, let it simmer uncovered for a few minutes after heating.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Serve with extra shredded cheddar on top.
FAQ
Can I use frozen broccoli instead of the soup base?
This recipe uses a pre-made broccoli cheddar soup for convenience. If you want to make it from scratch, you’ll need to adjust the ingredients and cooking time.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Can I make the garlic bread ahead of time?
Garlic bread is best served fresh from the oven. If you need to prepare it ahead, reheat it in a toaster oven or under the broiler for a few minutes.
