Quick & Easy Soup with Broccoli…
For us, soup is always a meal! No matter what the weather is outside, from blistering cold temperatures to warmer months, we continue to make soups all through the year. Simply because, soup is not only one of the easiest meals to make, but it’s also very adaptable. We can all make a pot of soup with whatever vegetables (fresh or frozen) we may have on hand.
When you run out of ideas on what to make for dinner? …we always think of soup!
As a quick meal for yourself or for your family, making this delicious tasting soup with frozen broccoli should come to mind – every time. It’s SO GOOD, everyone will ask for a second bowl! ๐

4 Great Reasons & Tips to Make Homemade Soup…
- It’s best to keep a variety of frozen vegetables in your freezer, especially for those days when you may need to whip up something quick (like this quick and easy soup with broccoli).
- Making a simple soup as a meal is always better than any “frozen processed packaged” foods you may heat up in the microwave.
- Most frozen processed meals (if you look carefully at the ingredients) are filled with junk and fillers, loaded with high fructose corn syrup, palm, and soybean oils which are GMOs and not good for anyone.
- Besides, the levels of sodium are extremely high in frozen already prepared dinners, and they might kill you as well.
Ingredients Needed:
For this recipe, you will need a package of frozen broccoli florets, some organic vegetable broth, water, tiny pasta, salt, and pepper. And, some grated parmesan cheese for serving. Then follow the directions to make it.
Directions to Make Quick & Easy Soup with Broccoli
Our full printable recipe card is located below. But, let’s walk through the steps before you begin. Here are 3-easy-to-follow steps:
STEP 1: First, you need to pour equal amounts of water and broth into a medium-size soup pot and turn on high heat. Then bring broth to a full boil.
STEP 2: In the meantime, open a package of frozen broccoli florets and transfer them to a colander. Give them a good rinse under cold water for a few seconds, then allow them to drain.

STEP 3: When the broth comes to a full boil, toss in the broccoli florets and tiny pasta of your choice, and cover with a lid. Allow the soup to come to a full boil once again. Then lower the heat to low, and allow the soup to simmer for about 5 to 6 minutes. Both broccoli and pasta will cook and be ready at the same time.
Best of all, it’s made with one easy pot for clean-up!
This quick and easy soup with broccoli is great when your hunger strikes at any time. It’s a good idea to keep cartons of vegetable broth and packages of tiny pasta in the pantry along with bags of frozen broccoli florets in your freezer.
Variations… to make it your own:
- You may use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. And, if you prefer, you can use the entire carton of the broth instead of mixing half with water, as I did.
- Toss in your favorite mix of frozen veggies. I used a 10-ounce package of frozen broccoli florets.
- Toss in your favorite tiny pasta, or gluten-free pasta.
- Add some fresh herbs to the mixture like fresh parsley or basil for more flavoring.
- Make this soup with leftover steamed broccoli from the night before! You only need about 1 to 2 cups of broccoli or any vegetable you prefer.
Options to serve it with…
There are so many options to serve this soup with, from sandwiches to salads. So here are a few ideas and options for you to choose from:
- Parmesan Crusted Chicken Cutlets (+video)
- Zucchini Pepperoni Pizza Boats
- Cucumber and Vidalia Onion Salad

Serve and enjoy!
Quick & Easy Soup with Broccoli is full of flavor and perfect for all ages, including the little ones! Making this is so easy – even for those who don’t prefer to cook!
Soups like our Easy Chicken Wonton Soup are similar to this one. I tossed in mini frozen wontons in the last few minutes before serving. Easy-peasy!!
ENJOY!!
