Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For this recipe it’s best to shred your own cheese and avoid pre-shredded cheese packages. This will help it melt more smoothly.
  • tip 2
    Try adding extra veggies to bulk up this delicious soup! Add 1/2 onion, diced, when adding the garlic. Add 1 cup shredded carrots when adding the broccoli.
  • tip 3
    Serve this hearty and cheesy soup with Pillsbury™ crescent rolls for a complete meal!
