Panera Bread Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe ... Recipe is okay. Does not reheat well as a leftover.

Cook melted butter and flour using a whisk over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir constantly and slowly add the half-and-half (this is called making a roux). Add the chicken stock whisking all the time. Simmer for 20 minutes.

From the Panera Bread Cookbook.

This is my own version of panera bread's black bean soup. It tastes a lot like it, and I love it!! Use vegetable stock to make it vegetarian.
