You can now make the thick, creamy broccoli cheese soup that everyone loves at home. It’s unbelievable!
You don’t need to feel guilty about this cheese soup because broccoli and carrots have been proven to be quite healthy.
This is exactly what I needed today after experiencing my first live TV segment on KTLA Morning News.
I was so nervous that I could not eat anything on the table. I know, rookie mistake.
