While the farewell to summer may be a bit of a downer, the silver lining to the cooler weather is that it's soup season. With a plethora of recipes available, you'll never run out of inspiration. Personally, there's nothing quite like savouring a hot, comforting bowl of soup - especially if it's enjoyed on a cold, rainy day.
The joy of making your own soup is part of its charm. The simplicity of tossing all the ingredients into one pot and forgetting about it until mealtime is simply irresistible. So, while scrolling through TikTok for recipe ideas - specifically for the inaugural soup of the season - I stumbled upon a video that had amassed over eleven million views and knew instantly that this was the one.
The viral broccoli and cheddar soup, shared by @cookwithauds, seemed like the ideal choice. Loaded with nutrients from broccoli and carrots, and topped off with a generous portion of cheddar cheese, it ticked all the boxes for a hearty comfort dish, reports the Daily Record . Having tried my hand at making it, I can vouch for the fact that this has easily become the best soup I've ever made.
It was simple, delicious, indulgent and yielded plenty of servings - which tasted even better in the days that followed. The chef had also chosen to garnish hers with crispy bacon for an added flavour boost. Here's everything you need to whip up this soup - which serves four - and the steps you need to follow.
