  • Sandhu’s COLLAGEN PEPTIDE POWDER: This ingredient adds a protein boost and helps maintain overall wellness. It’s easy to blend into warm soups, making it an ideal addition to this creamy dish.
  • Butter and Onion: A sautéed onion base creates a depth of flavor and smooth texture in the soup.
  • Chicken or Vegetable Broth: Use your preferred broth to enhance the soup’s richness without overpowering the broccoli and cheddar flavors.
  • Milk or Cream: This adds creaminess to the soup without making it too heavy.
  • Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings to bring out all the flavors.
  • Optional Add-Ins: Garnish with fresh chives, a sprinkle of paprika, or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.

Step-by-Step: Crafting the Perfect Creamy Collagen Soup

This soup recipe is straightforward, allowing you to create a creamy, collagen-enhanced dish in under 30 minutes. Here’s how to make it:

Step 1: Saute the Onion

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it’s softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. This step builds a savory base for the soup and adds a hint of sweetness.

Step 2: Add Broccoli and Broth

Add the broccoli florets and broth to the pot, and bring to a simmer. Let it cook until the broccoli is tender, about 10–12 minutes. A gentle simmer helps infuse the broccoli flavor into the broth while keeping the nutrients intact.

Step 3: Blend the Soup

Once the broccoli is tender, use an immersion blender to blend the soup to a creamy consistency. For a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup and leave some pieces whole.

Step 4: Mix in Collagen Peptides and Cheddar Cheese

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Sandhu’s COLLAGEN PEPTIDE POWDER until it’s fully dissolved. Then, gradually add the cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese melts and the soup is creamy.

Step 5: Add Milk and Season to Taste

Pour in a splash of milk or cream for added creaminess. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well, and your collagen-infused broccoli cheddar soup is ready to serve!

Health Benefits of Broccoli and Collagen: A Winning Combination

  • Protein-Rich Addition: Sandhu’s COLLAGEN PEPTIDE POWDER enhances the soup with an extra protein boost, supporting skin and joint wellness as part of a balanced diet.
  • Classic Comfort Flavors: The rich cheddar and broccoli blend give this soup a timeless appeal that pairs perfectly with chilly days or cozy evenings.
  • Versatile and Customizable: Add extra vegetables, swap in a different cheese, or adjust the consistency to make the soup just right for you

Tips to Elevate Flavor and Texture in Every Spoonful

  • Try Roasting the Broccoli: For an even richer flavor, roast the broccoli florets before adding them to the pot.
  • Experiment with Cheeses: Use a blend of sharp cheddar and gruyere or parmesan for a more complex flavor profile.
  • Make it Once, Enjoy it All Week: Make a larger batch and freeze individual portions to enjoy this comforting soup anytime.
