Cheese Broccoli Noodle Soup

Donna asked me if I had ever had a recipe failure.  Hmmmm – more than a few!  I said I had never been able to make a good broccoli cheese soup even though I’d tried several different recipes.   Donna said “I have a recipe that  you’ll love and it won’t fail!”  She sent me this tried and true broccoli and cheese noodle soup from her recipe box.  She was right.  It was a hit! 

 I would never have thought of adding noodles to a broccoli cheese soup but it is so good!  The unexpected noodles bring it to a “stick to the ribs” category of yummy.   She made a note to make sure the noodles are extra fine – around an inch long and smaller than the diameter of thin spaghetti.  I did cut the recipe in half to make six servings – one meal for the three of us.  And instead of water and bouillon cubes, I used canned chicken broth.

 This would be really good served with a crusty roll slathered with butter. Drool!!!!   Or biscuits with butter AND honey.  Or strawberry jam.  But since we are carb watchers, we serve a green salad as a side or a fruit salad as a dessert.  And leave the table filled and sassy.   This is definitely a keeper and will be a regular star on the menu.  I love soup and could eat it multiple times a week so  I see much more broccoli in our future!   Wheels like broccoli as much as I like soup and cheese anything fits Bytes world so it’s a winner all the way around!
