If anyone has ever been to the Pacific Wharf Cafe at California Adventure in Anaheim, you may have tried their Broccoli Cheese Soup in a Bread bowl. If not, you must try it – it’s practically HEAVEN!! Well, we recently went to Disneyland and California Adventure (which I will be blogging about in the coming days) and have been dying to find a recipe that compares to this little piece of heaven. Happy to report that my mom was able to do just that.
The recipe comes from HERE. She made a few changes to it, and I have to admit it was one of the best recipes I’ve ever tried! And although we didn’t eat ours in a bread bowl, it tasted just like the Broccoli Cheese Soup at the Pacific Wharf Cafe!!

Now, I just need to find some super yummy Sourdough Bread bowls and eat this soup with them, and perhaps I’ll feel a little bit like I’m back at California Adventure!
ENJOY!
Yum! Can’t wait to try this. The only other Broccoli Cheese Soups I’ve made call for the fake cheese stuff – Cheese Whiz or Velveeta. Bleh. Thanks!
LOL!! Don’t use the fake stuff anymore!! This recipe was seriously the best Broccoli Cheese recipe I’ve tasted. Let me know if you make it and what you think. Have a Merry Christmas, Dezi!!
do you make your own bread bowls?
I wish!! I have never tried to before but if you have a good sourdough recipe I’d love to try it! Then it would really be just like the Pacific Wharf’s Broccoli Cheese soup!
We had this for dinner. It is soooo good and soooo simple. A new family favorite for sure. Thanks.
So glad you liked it! It’s definitely my new fav broccoli cheese soup. Thanks for stopping by!
Just made this for my family. Everyone loved it!! Very simple to make, and super tasty. I altered the instructions a bit…put the chicken broth in a bigger pot, and then cooked the broccoli in the broth while I made the roux, and then added the roux and cheese to the broth/broccoli pot. Thanks for the yummy recipe, I will definitely be making it again!
