great recipe! I didn't have enough of the velveeta so I added grated cheddar. I also microwaved the frozen broccoli. Other than that, I made it exactly as written and it was great -- much bettter than another vegetarian version in a well-known cookbook!

Delicious, but extremely rich! Be sure to mix constantly when melting the cheese to prevent scalding!..you have to kind of scratch at the bottom as you mix or else the cheese sticks to the bottom and burns. I also substituted butter for margarine bc I rather not consume transfats if I can avoid it.

Awesome. Loved it! I also added extra salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic to suit our tastes. Will definitely make again and again! Thanks!

I loved how easy it was to throw this together quickly. I also added cooked carrots and a dash of pepper to the soup, did not add any margarine. Yum Yum!

My sister called with a request for Christmas Eve dinner. She wanted me to make broccoli cheese soup. I had never made this before. I added chicken boullion to the recipe and some garlic. It was simple and a huge hit!

This is the third year in a row we've had this soup on Christmas eve -- at the request of my seven year old. She LOVES it and asks for it on occasion. I think it's a bit rich and I usually add a half to full bottle of beer to it to cut the richness a bit and give it some zing (the alcohol cooks off). Simple, super easy, and kids love it.

Absolutely delicious! I used fresh broccoli instead of frozen, and added chopped red pepper to the red onion. I found that microwaving the broccoli for a few minutes before adding it really makes a difference in the crunchiness!

All I could taste was the cream cheese. Probably would be really good if you halved the cream cheese and added more broccoli. Easy and quick to make though.

The soup was easy to make. I wasn't crazy about the flavor as it had an overwhelming cream cheese taste. The cream cheese also didn't blend well, and the texture was grainy. Not sure what I did wrong. I'd be willing to try making it again...
