Broccoli cheddar soup is comfort in its simplest form warm, creamy, and familiar. The broccoli softens into the soup, the cheese brings richness, and a light sprinkle of sesame seeds adds a gentle nutty finish that lifts the whole bowl. It’s a small twist on a classic, just enough to make it feel fresh.
