Carmie's Broccoli Cheddar Soup with Cheesy Garlic Soberdough

A chilly evening calls for a bowl of creamy broccoli cheddar soup and a thick slice of warm cheesy garlic bread. Start with Carmie's Kitchen Broccoli Cheddar Soup Mix, add extra broccoli for a hearty bowl, and bake Cheesy Garlic Soberdough to serve alongside. The bread is for dunking, not mixed into the soup.

Servings: Follow the soup mix package yield; one loaf of bread serves several people
Hands-on time: About 15 minutes, plus package cooking and baking times

Ingredients

  • 1 package Carmie's Kitchen Broccoli Cheddar Soup Mix
  • The liquid and any other ingredients specified on the Carmie's package
  • 1–2 cups fresh broccoli florets, cut small (optional, for a chunkier soup)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Shredded cheddar, for serving (optional)
  • 1 package Cheesy Garlic Soberdough bread mix
  • Beer, in the amount specified on the Soberdough package

Directions

  1. Make the Cheesy Garlic Soberdough with the beer and baking directions on its package. Let the loaf rest briefly before slicing so it doesn't crumble.
  2. Prepare the Carmie's Broccoli Cheddar Soup Mix with the liquid and any other ingredients called for on its package. If adding fresh broccoli, stir it in early enough to simmer until tender. If the soup becomes too thick, add a splash of the package's recommended liquid.
  3. Taste and add black pepper if you like. Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with shredded cheddar if using, and serve with thick slices of warm cheesy garlic bread for dunking.

Make it a meal: Serve with a crisp green salad or sliced apples on the side. The soup and bread mixes each have their own package instructions, so use those for exact liquid amounts, oven setting, and cooking times rather than guessing.
