Cambpells V8 Broccoli

I take super flattering cell phone camera pics, I know.. it's great.

Long story short.. I'm pretty sure these are supposed to be used for casseroles or larger soup bases n such.. wasn't really a whole lot to it. pretty bland.

Gave it a dash of salt, a shake of parmesan cheese, and a shake of lemon pepper - and I didn't dislike it.

Price you pay for healthy eating I guess.. to me it's just bland.. we'll see if any of the others fare any better

Nutrition, as usual. - perhaps i'll start snapping a pic of the ingredients some time in the future..

V8 Soups

Oh Panera.. how I love thee..

Panera's Broccoli Cheddar

Probably one of my favorite soups of all time. I'm also terribly partial to their french onion. I have yet to determine if my love springs from the wonderful flavor of the soup, the accompanying bread, or both.

It's a wonderfully creamy soup with great flavor.
Obvious ingredients:
broccoli
cheddar cheese
carrot
Beyond that I would imagine:
butter
garlic
onion
salt & white pepper
chicken broth
flour
milk/light cream

Here is someone's best guess at the real recipe.

I would expect there will be a couple more Panera posts on here..
I'd also like to point out how happy I am with the direction Panera has gone with in terms of their place settings.. I genuinely enjoy the actual plates, etc. over their previous basket w/ kidney plates.

Not wikipedia.. but some history..
