Guys, dare I say it? This might just be better than Panera’s...👀 I was really bad about my measurements so bare with me -ingredients & instructions below 👇🏻 I made a giant pot so I would have lots of left overs, feel free to scale it down!
In a large soup pot, melt butter. Add in all veggies and sauté until tender (they don’t need to be fully cooked, they’ll continue to cook as you add in liquids). Pour in flour and stir so veggies are coated. Slowly whisk in vegetable broth and non-dairy milk. Continue stirring over medium heat until thickened (about 10-15 minutes). After this if you want your soup thicker, you can throw in another tbsp of flour. If thinner, add a little more milk or vegetable broth. Reduce heat and add cheddar shreds. Stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to your preference 🤤
*To reheat, put in a pot, heat on medium. You may have to add in some milk, as I have found overnight it will get thicker!
