The Black Eyed Pea Restaurant is known for its home cooking. Sometimes when you go out for dinner you want to enjoy the way you imagine the best home-cooked means are. Sadly many of their locations have closed recently. But there are a few copycat recipes that are available including this one for their much-loved broccoli cheese soup.

What Makes the Black Eyed Pea Broccoli Cheese Soup So Good?

What makes this soup so good? It is the creamy melted cheese goodness in this soup. You won’t find a Broccoli Cheese Soup that has more of a cheesy flavor.

The recipe recommends Velveeta cheese, but you could swap this out for American cheese that you find in a grocery store’s deli. Either way, you are going to be very pleased with the two different types of cheese.

    Great recipe! I used 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1 cup of 1% milk because that is what I had on hand. I also used all chicken broth instead of water because I had broth that needed to be used up. I wasn’t sure how much pepper to use as it is not specified in the ingredient list. I used 1/4 tsp. and it wasn’t overpowering. Easy to follow recipe. Thanks!

    Am I missing something? There’s no indication of the black-eyed peas in the list of ingredients or instructions I’m seeing.

    I just LOVE Black Eyed Pea & all their meals especially the pot roast & gravy & meal not complete without a serving of black eyed peas, squash, broc & rice. Could not find the head quarters address so I could urge you all to expand & come here along the east coast. Lived in Ft Collins prior to moving here near Manassas, Va. Believe you would do very well here & our family would be there frequently. Best regards, Mrs Jane Underkofler.
