Hearty Broccoli Cheddar Soup : Easy Family Dinner Ideas

Hello my friends!!!! I know it’s spring. I know we are nearing the end of comfort food season & I still have a pile of warm & hearty goodness to share with you all. Too many recipes- not enough days. But you all know how much I love a good soup recipe – especially if it involves the crock pot. I love coming up with Easy Family Dinner Ideas & hearty soups top my list. You know that if I can toss it in the slow cooker & it’s doing it’s thing while I work away – it’s a keeper in my book. So even though comfort foods are nearly out of season – easy recipes are not. So I had to share this one with you here.

This recipe came about because I was craving broccoli cheddar soup. However my family likes a good filling dish. If it’s not filling then I have to have something additional on the side like a sandwich. So I decided to add a little ground sausage to the soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking. It was a great decision. My family loved the change & they ate the whole pot.
