Yet another Broccoli soup recipe! (Simple, natural broccoli cheese soup with just cheese and broth and veggies)

I love broccoli cheese soup.  It is so delightful on a cold day.  Or on a summer feeling fall day when your produce club makes you crave it.  This is what we have here, produce induced soup craving. 

I thought roasting the veggies and keeping it simple would help make this a more summery soup as it would be lighter.  That plan was a good one.  This is a light fresh soup that will have you craving and loving soup all year round.  I have the leftovers in my freezer just waiting for a rainy day. (Side note, I shot this so long ago I have already pulled them out of the freezer and loved them!)

Do you love broccoli cheese soup?  Do you love trading processed cheese or cream for a healthier swap?  Even if you can't answer those in the affirmative, you will love this soup!  Full recipe after the montage.
