A little soup. A little bread. A little delicious.

Tonight's cooking fun is brought to you by the following things: 

1. Me being starving and also somehow able to recall what ingredients I have in order to make delicious dinner 

2. A crazing for soup. Crazing is a word I literally just made up because I'm a little tired and a little teensy bit  buzzed and sometimes typing is hard. At any rate, it's a craving + crazy hungry. Or something. I don't even know. 

So. I decided I would like to make/had all ingredients for this Copycat Panera Cheddar Broccoli Soup. It's totes delicious and IN MY OPINION tastes better than Panera because it's fresh, (versus Panera who gets their soup in a bag and then heats it up) and is HOMEMADE which TO ME is always better. 

Behold. Mmmmm prior to the cheddar....

 

 

I do try to chop the broccoli pretty small, since I actively hate broccoli. I also frequently purchase carrots and celery ahead of time so I can cut them and freeze them so I always have veggies for soup on hand. 

 

Mmmmmmmmm. Then I melted this butter for the Garlic Cheddar Beer Bread (which if I haven't yelled at you about before, please make it. You will thank me.) 

 

That's the only picture I took of the bread while making it. But then I decided I should have a beer too, so I did....

 

Meanwhile, my soup completed itself....

 

I know. Not that pretty. But OMFG SO GOOD. Obviously I ate a whole bowl and two slices of bread when it was complete because I AM A MONSTER. I also had a second beer because Tuesday. 

All in all, it's been a good Tuesday night. 

This has been drunk cooking with Tina. Ha!
