I made this recipe the other night and it turned out surprisingly delicious. It was easy to make and, other than the cheese, much lower fat than my regular broccoli cheese soup. I thought that the amount of onion would be excessive but it actually turned out quite good. I took one star off because of the presentation, although that is likely a function of my picky eaters than anything else. The recipe calls for adding the broccoli prior to pureeing half the soup contents; however, doing so ends up turning the soup a greenish color. I didn't mind that at all but the picky kids at home did. When I make it again (and I will) I'll do the pureeing prior to adding the broccoli. Overall this was a good, inexpensive and filling meal for a cold fall evening. The kids think that it would be good with some crumbled bacon -- this recipe lends itself to experimentation and I look forward to doing so.

This turned out pretty good -- better than the last recipie that I tried and closer to that "perfect" recipie that we all strive for. I added about 1/4 c barbecue sauce to a 2x recipie and we all thought that it added a subtle enhancement to the flavor of the sloppy joes. The wife and kids loved this recipie although I'm searching for something with a little more kick to it. This recipie is good enough to serve as a base for future recipie attempts.

I made this the other night and stuck exactly to the recipie. The entire family loved it and I've got a few hard-to-please eaters. I'm definitely going to make this again, although I do plan on trying with just mozzarella to cut down on the cost a little bit (provalone is on the pricy side). I may try some other variations, but as-written the recipie is definitely a keeper!
