Cheesy Pull Apart Bread Recipe

Did you know that January is National Soup Month? It makes perfect sense because much of the country is still experiencing chilly weather. There's not a better meal to warm up with than a hearty bowl of soup!

This post is in partnership with Idahoan^® Foods. All opinions are my own.

Personally, I'm a fan of thick and creamy soups with potatoes and/or cheese....like the one's you get at a steakhouse! The only downside to getting a really good bowl of restaurant quality soup is the, often tedious, process of getting everyone together to go out to dinner, or spending a ridiculous amount of time in front of the stove to prepare it from scratch. Neither of which are particularly inviting when my soup cravings hit.

Idahoan^® must understand my dilemma. They have delicious Premium Steakhouse^® Potato Soups that can be prepared in just 5 minutes and taste like restaurant-quality soup. Yes, you read that right— 5 minutes on the stove-top with water!

Because it's National Soup Month, I just had to try Idahoan^® Premium Steakhouse^® Potato Soups for myself. There are four delicious varieties: Cheddar Broccoli, Creamy Potato, Loaded Potato and Three Cheese Chipotle.

I chose Cheddar Broccoli for my first batch of soup because it's a family favorite. To make the soup into more of a meal, I served it with quick & easy Cheesy Pull Apart Bread (recipe below!).

My family went crazy for Idahoan^® Premium Steakhouse^® Cheddar Broccoli Potato Soup! It really only took 5 minutes to prepare (though I let it simmer a little longer while I made the Cheesy bread), and the taste was deliciously creamy and satisfying— We can't wait to try the other varieties!
