Great recipe that tastes very similar to Panera's broccoli cheese soup. I followed the recipe exactly but substituted vegetable broth, doubled the cheese, and added a handful of onions to the boiling broth. I would recommend adding a few teaspoons of black pepper.

I added an onion as suggested by others, and used garlic salt and pepper to season. Instead of cream of celery I used one cream of chicken and one cream of mushroom soup. I added a little more cheese and about a half a cup of sour cream! SO good.

A couple pulses in the ninja for the broccoli and I avoided chopping. I added a small onion and garlic that I sauted in a little butter first, then added the broccoli. I think I'll leave out the garlic next time though. I also took others advice and used powdered mashed potatoes to thicken. I had to add a little more milk but is was worth it. Everyone loved this, served with a loaf of pilsbury's Italian bread, great for a cold day!

AMAZING! Best brocolli cheddar soup I have ever had! Using the fresh brocolli gives it so much more flavor, it is wonderful :)

Made a few changes, but the basic plan was the same. I used frozen broccoli because it's what I had, and I added a little extra Cheddar to finish up the package. Also, because I had used skim milk, it wasn't thickening like I wanted, so I added a small amount of half and half to aid thickening. I took some to a friend and hubby ate the rest. They both said it was delicious and I could do it again!

Oh, man. I loved this. I wouldn't compare it to Panera, but -- and I can't believe I'm saying this -- I liked it better! I did have to make some modifications because I had a craving, but not the supplies. I had no milk, so I mixed some powdered creamer with water. It worked! Also used frozen broccoli, threw in some onions, shredded carrots, powdered onion, and garlic. I didn't find it to taste too much like chicken at all, and found the cream of celery to be the perfect compliment.

As usual I had to do my own modifications to a recipe. :) But this was a great base! I used it as stated but added carrots, celery,onion, garlic pepper, parsley and a lil salt. Also I did not have cream of celery so I used cream of potato instead. Yum!
