I really am not complaining but folks…it is cold outside. January in Minnesota is not for the faint of heart. It is not uncommon for the temperatures to dip way into the negative numbers. When the weather gets cold I crave something warm and tasty for dinner. This loaded broccoli cheese soup is just what I need. It is easy to make and perfect for those cold winters nights.
