Broccoli Cheddar Soup

I am a very good speller. With that being said, there are some words that I always have a difficult time spelling: broccoli, vacuum, license and convenience. Thankfully, I usually am typing on a computer that has a spell check program.

The reason I bring this up is because I am making broccoli cheddar soup. I was craving Panera soup earlier today, as I was driving home from work (left sick due to cold and ear infection...oh yeah, lucky me). I figured, I'm a smart girl, I bet I can make my own cheddar soup, plus it was 10am and I didn't think Panera would be serving lunch yet.

Right now, I'm simmering my roux and chicken broth. In about ten minutes, I'm going to add the broccoli and carrots then grate up the cheese. I'm so excited to see how this turns out!

Update: Not too bad for a first try. It didn't come out quite as thick and as smooth as I wanted, but it still tastes pretty good.
