Made 1/2 batch. Used just enough broth to cover broccoli. Didn't have chicken broth, used vegetable broth. The soup thickened nicely and was very tasty. Will make again!

This recipe is grreat! The first broccoli cheese soup I've ever made, but it's delicious. I did tweak a few things to suit our taste. I added a little more broccoli, a carrot, and 1/2 diced onion to make it hearty. I also decreased the chicken stock a little to make sure it wasn't watery, you can always add more if it's too thick. Thanks for sharing!

I was trying to decide between this recipe and one that was highly rated but made with processed cheese. I chose this one because in my opinion processed cheese is too much. I'm SO glad I made this recipe. The kids looked at me like I was crazy when I told them what I was making, the next day while they were waiting for their dinner I asked if they wanted to "try the soup they said, "yes." They liked it! So this is good for the whole family. Thank you so much for sharing!

This was great. I used 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1 can cream of celery soup. I also used a handblender to puree in the soup pot...yummy.

After reading some of the other reviews I changed a few things. I added 1 quart of chicken stock, and used 1 can of cream of celery soup and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and then used 1 cup of fat free 1/2 and 1/2 instead of the milk. I also added some grated carrot for color and i chopped the broccoli pretty finely so it would be evenly distributed. Tt was plenty thick, actually when I reheated I added a little water. With these changes my family gave it 5 stars.

My family really liked this. I made it for a soup buffet and added some chopped carrots for more color. I also added more cheese. I figure everything's better with more cheese, right? I really liked it because I really wanted a soup that didn't use processed cheese... blech. This one was great. Perfect consistency and texture for us. Thanks!

My first attempt a Broccoli Cheese soup and it is awesome. I did not change a thing. I liked that it used up the fresh broccoli from the garden.

Loved it! It was easy and had a great flavor. I did add some onion powder and garlic powder and cayenne pepper to it, but other than that I didn't change anything. It turned out creamy and made a great lunch.

I really enjoyed this soup. I appreciated how simple the flavors were - onion and/or other seasonings are a nice touch, but I was looking for a true broccoli cheese soup and I am very happy with this one. I may add a bit more cheese next time, but it's a great soup with no changes. Thanks so much for sharing.

I chose this recipe because it didn't have process cheese (yuck). But, the recipe as it is was too thin. AND I cut a cup of broth and a cup of milk. Who likes broccoli cheese soup this thin? It was a disappointment but a good starting point. Next time i will try splitting the recipe and cutting the broth/milk, and adding an extra 1/2 cup of cheese.

Turned out ok. I used chopped broccoli which saved a lot of time and money. You can use 1 whole bag of frozen.

Everyone really liked this soup a lot. In my opinion, it was a little more brothy than I would like (I prefer broccoli cheese soup to be creamier), but the flavour was enough to make it 4 stars. I used regular (not condensed) cream of celery soup because there was no condensed soup without toxins in it, so it's possible this had an effect on my soup, but I put extra cornstarch in it to balance it. Overall: pretty good, I'll make it again.

Yummy! very easy and really good. I took some advice on altering slightly like using instant potato flakes instead of the cornstarch and added some seasonings, was a tad bland for our tastes. for the soups, I used one celery and one chik. I also put the broccoli in the blender(most of it)when it was cooked, I dont like this type of soup chunky.
