Who doesn’t like hot, creamy soup on a cold day? Especially if it is loaded with good broccoli and cauliflower so it is healthy too? Creamy Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup is that soup!
If you would like a crock pot version with the same ingredients, you can find that here; Crock Pot Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup.
This recipe has been shared in Weekend Potluck. Head on over to this great site for LOTS of new recipes each week!
This recipe is adaptable:
I usually make this soup with frozen vegetables. This can certainly be made with all broccoli or all cauliflower; whatever you have on hand. I have also used leftover roasted vegetables, raw vegetables or a mixture! Just use 8 cups of vegetables and you are set!
My original recipe called for two 16 ounce bags of vegetables but that size bag is getting harder and harder to find (in my stores, anyway). I can usually only find the 12 oz bags. I have lately been making the recipe with three 12 oz bags and it is totally fine so I modified the recipe when I gave it a facelift 6/10/19.
It can be made with either 32 oz or 36 oz of vegetables. Either is fine! It is only a differene of 4 oz and it doesn’t matter. It also doesn’t matter if you use more broccoli or more cauliflower or all of one or the other.

Ingredients
(This picture was taken when I still found 16 oz bags so I used 16oz each of broccoli and cauliflower)
broccoli
cauliflower
chopped onions
chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
heavy whipping cream
shredded cheddar cheese
Neufchatel cheese
Instructions
Gather your ingredients. You can use fresh or frozen (thaw it for faster cooking but you don’t have to) broccoli and cauliflower. You could even use all broccoli or all cauliflower. I love the pre-cut onions in the frozen section of the store for things like this.
Add the vegetables and broth to your pot. Bring to a boil and simmer gently until the vegetables are soft; about 20 minutes.
I use my Hamilton Beach hand blender to very easily and quickly blend it into a creamy soup. With two attachments that come off of the main part, it is very simple to wash too.
You can also mash it a little or a lot with a potato masher so it is chunky or smooth, whatever you like. The more you mash it, the creamier it will be.
Add the cheeses and cream and stir it until it melts. You can also use a whisk to smooth it in. It is ready to serve when the cheese is melted.
This is best sipped in a mug.
