Hey y’all I’m Val with our forever Farm we are having fun in my daughter’s kitchen today and here’s just a glimpse of the ingredients we’re going to be using you are going to want to make this soup it is delicious hey y’all I’m Melissa and I am sweet Hunter and Valerie’s favorite

Grandchild and I am going to make some Coffey capat Panera Bread broccoli cheddar soup today we’re cooking for the whole family and so we’re going to be quadrupling this recipe so um don’t listen to any of the measurements I’m doing the recipe will be in the description box for the correct amount

So first we’re going to melt the butter over medium heat medium to high heat um in our sauce pan and you you’ll hear a little rack at the background it’s a little munkin that with us today Hudson hey y’all just got home from school so when you’re craving

Panera Bread soup and it’s too cold to go anywhere try Coffey cat recipe it’s great so my butter is melted and so now I’m going to add my onions and I’m going to let them sauté or cook down some into the butter and um they’ll cook so if you

Don’t like onions like sweet Hunter my pops he doesn’t like onions but he’ll never know they’re in here because they’ll s uh they’ll shrivel up into the soup and did you chop those Sissa yes we chopped these okay we used the Purple Onion but you can use any kind of onion

Right so I’m going to just dump these into there and I’m going to let it um cook or until they’re golden brown usually for about three to four minutes like your plate there thanks so we’re doing a lot today so um we found these at Walmart they’re

Already peeled and so now we’re just mincing the garlic cuz that’s going to go in after the onions have turned brown and gr’s mined those for me cuz she’s a lot safer with knives she’s had more experience than me with actually we don’t have a good knife

Here at this kitchen so it’s kind of hard so I’m just kind of chopping it up and then we’ll go over it with a bigger knife to mince it up so in the single recipe do you remember how many garlic clothes we use it’ be between two and

Four depending on the size and we’re doing how many we’re doing 8 to 12 because of our big family so oh it smells good they’re not looking golden yet still got some time um the onions are turning a little bit golden turning the butter golden can

We that garlic please here you go okay so we’re going to add the garlic in there um and so the garlic will burn so we got to be careful with that um gry chopped it up as or minced it up as much as she could so M this way yes please thank

You so we’re just going to let it a sauté and just watch it because we don’t want it to burn can you br that flour please yeah here you go want me to dump it in yes please so we’re um making a r now and just like you would do with

Gravy so will you give me a whisk out of that first no the first one uh down below you see a wh little silver pie we’re waiting for this to get golden brown and thickened so while this thickens we’re going to go ahead and add our chicken

Broth uh you can also add vegetable broth as well instead of the chicken but today we’re going to use the chicken broth and when you pour it in be very careful cuz it will splatter I love to teach all my grandchildren how to cook Miss Alysa

Here she’s been cooking since she was 3 years old now we’re going to add broccoli so we bought this from Walmart and it comes just like this um in the produce um so it comes in this big but we don’t like the stock um so we cut them into the floor

Flx MH and so we’re going to start adding those into the soup you might show it to them how we cut it up yeah have to be very careful I’ll help you we’re just going to drop it into the bra It Takes Two of Us it takes a

Village with us don’t it it does I think that’ll be plenty don’t you I think it’s plenty thank you you’re welcome next we’re going to add the carrots right after the broccoli it asked for half of a carrot we did it the easy way and we bought the shredded

Carrots and the produce but they are still fresh and I am quadrupling it the thing’s about to be really full that’s really good Lisa now that I’ve got the um carrots and the broccoli simmering um we’re now going to add the seasonings so I’m going to add the pepper the salt and the

Paprika I remember when Alysa was so little and I was just teaching her and I had to stand right over her I don’t have to do that now she can follow a recipe just great the first thing I ever taught her was how to make cornbread and she still

Does it to this day she’s a good cook several of my grandchildren have followed in my footsteps and love to cook they cook a lot of things that I never thought about about cooking I’m so proud of them now I’m going to mix it up so we’ve got the broccoli carrots and

The seasoning added so now we’re going to turn it to low to medium heat and we’re going to let it come to a bow and then let it simmer for 15 minutes until the carrots and the broccoli are done so after you bring it to a hard bowl and

You know the broccoli and the carrots are done then you turn it on low and simmer it so we’re going to pour the half half and half into the um mixture uh so it’s been simmering for uh a good while about 15 minutes so now we’re

Going to put half and half in there Hudson do you mind holding it over the pot for me and hold it tight baby okay we’re going to go down just let me get s your you got it let go okay okay now remember we are adding more because we’re making a bigger

Quantity the original recipe will be in the description box thank you Hy now we’re going to add the cheese so you can see right here the thickness of the soup that’s what the flow did and I have let it uh bow for about 15 minutes it looks so creamy and so good

Mhm smells good too now I’m going to mix that up now you can grate your own cheese but we chose to do it the easy way today we we bought everything convenience that looks so good Lissa look how creamy that is look really cheesy it looks delicious it

Does so we had so much fun cooking today and this is delicious I’ll go ahead and tell you you want to make this soup it’s so good what we did is we we just told the whole family this will be in tog go containers for you come and get it pick
