Recipe: Cheesy Cream of Broccoli Soup with Bacon

Oh my heck!! I made this soup last night and it is the best soup I have ever made by far. Like, by souper far ;) Easy to make  (awesome!), healthy (bonus!), and so delicious (why I really love it). It is creamy with just a little kick and who can say no to bacon!?!?

The best news is...Talon likes it! He ate broccoli!!

I don't have an emersion blender so I just cut everything really small. The next time I make this soup, I will crisp the bacon a little more. Also, I just used regular ingredients, nothing fancy. 

Let me know how you like it!!

• 1/2 lb. of nitrate-free bacon, chopped
• 4 c broccoli, diced
• 1 large onion, chopped

• 1 c milk
