🥦 Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Ingredients
• 500g frozen broccoli, about 5 cups
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ cup (55g) butter
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup (30g) flour
• 4 cups chicken broth (I use homemade bone broth, but store-bought chicken or vegetable broth works too!)
• 1 large carrot, shredded
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt + pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Toss frozen broccoli with olive oil, salt + pepper. Air fry at 400°F for 12–15 minutes, until tender with some browned edges.
2. Melt butter in a large pot. Cook onion until soft, then add garlic for about 30 seconds.
3. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in chicken broth.
4. Add shredded carrot and simmer for 5–8 minutes until it starts to soften.
5. Add broccoli and simmer another 5 minutes. Blend some of the soup with an immersion blender, leaving some broccoli pieces.
6. Turn heat to low. Stir in milk, then cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt + pepper.

And that’s it! The broccoli soup my picky kids somehow ask me to make again and again. 😂

SAVE for the next time you have no idea what to feed your kids. 🥦

His dad taught him you ALWAYS walk a lady to her door and wait until she gets inside. He takes his assignment very seriously with our next door neighbour. He is going to make someone a wonderful husband one day, just like his daddy 🤍

I’ve been praying for God to help me become a morning person. He answered in the form of my daughter crying at 4am.

After rocking her back to sleep, I stood there staring at my bed that looked so inviting, when I felt that little nudge: Didn’t you pray for this?

So I got up. I opened my Bible, moved my body and invited God into my day. The kids still argued, the dishes still piled up and nothing magically became easier. But I carried a peace I didn’t have the day prior.

“Early will I seek thee.” Psalm 63:1

Getting up early is hard. So is waking up sluggish and disconnected from the people you love most. Already feeling behind and far from God.

So let’s choose our hard. Our kids are worth it. Our peace is worth it. God’s waiting in the quiet before the chaos.

If you have picky little eaters, this is such an easy snack to have in your back pocket. Chickpeas are packed with plant-based protein and fibre, it takes about 5 minutes to make, and most importantly… my kids actually love i!!

5-Minute Kid-Approved Hummus

1 can (540 mL / 19 oz) chickpeas, drained & rinsed
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp garlic powder (Or 1-2 garlic)
½ tsp salt
3–5 tbsp water, added until it’s nice and creamy

Throw everything in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. That’s literally it!

You can also add tahini, cumin, paprika, roasted garlic or even roasted red pepper if your kiddos are a little more adventurous.

Serve with veggies, crackers, pita or whatever your kids will actually eat it with.

Picky-eater parents… what’s your go-to that your kids will actually eat? Share it below because we could all use more ideas!

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m really glad you’re here. ✨

I figured it was time for a proper introduction, so here’s a little more about me, my family, and the heart behind why I share this life online.

Now I want to know about YOU. Do we have something in common? Tell me below, or just introduce yourself. I’d genuinely love to get to know the people on the other side of this screen.
