Copycat Panera Broccoli Cheese Soup is ready in less than 30 minutes! The perfect bowl of comfort food without leaving your house! My family doesn’t love traditional fast food. Which I suppose is a good thing, except when I’m looking to just pick up a quick, on the go meal I’m limited by their taste buds! Fortunately (or not) for us, our Panera Bread has a drive through, and it’s one of the “fast food” choices we all love. Except it’s pricey. They don’t have a dollar menu!

From start to finish, this Copycat Panera Broccoli Cheese Soup recipe takes less than 30 minutes.

Zuppa Toscana Soup is one of my most popular soup recipes, have you tried it yet? It’s packed with slices of tender russet potatoes, flavorful Italian sausage and bacon, fresh kale and a rich and creamy broth. So much comforting flavor in one bowl of soup! This soup is a regular in my home, it’s one of my families favorites! I love that it’s so easy to make and it has such an incredible flavor thanks to those hearty bits of sausage. This recipe is inspired by the Zuppa Toscana Soup at Olive Garden but when you make it fresh at home it’s that much better (plus my version seems to be less brothier meaning you get more potatoes, bacon, kale and sausage). Plus it’s made with love right? Ingredients 2 tsp olive oil 1 lb Italian Sausage (casings removed if necessary) 4 oz bacon (about 4 slices), diced into small pieces* 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 small onion) 3 (14.5 oz) cans low-sodium chicken broth 2 cups water 1 1/2 lbs Russet potatoes, scrubbed and rinsed then sliced into halves...
