If you love broccoli soup, then you will love this creamy broccoli soup with lemon and Parmesan cheese. It’s got a different kind of taste going on, but it’s a fresh and zesty kind of taste.
We LOVE this soup cookbook – SOUP & COMFORT by Pamela Ellgen. It’s a delicious cookbook filled with nothing but homemade soups. Homemade soups that warm the soul.
We had to find out for ourselves if the soup really warmed our soul and YES it did!
The first soup we decided to make was Creamy Broccoli Parmesan Soup. The soup turned out to be super-delicious with the blend of tangy lemon and freshly grated Parmesan.
