I started out leary about this recipe but it turned out wonderful, and I have picky eaters. I used the advice of some of the reviews. I kicked it up a little. I used 1lb velveeta and 8oz shredded chedder/pepper jack cheese with jalapenos. Also, I used 7 bouillon cubes to 5 cups water and added some minced garlic to the onions. Warning it does make enough for an army! Great for leftovers on a gloomy day!

I also mixed velveeta and shredded sharp chedder cheese like many others recommended, and I have to say this is the best broccoli cheese soup I've ever had!!

I used velveeta & 8 oz. of mild cheddar cheese... All I can say is this is the BEST! I call it 'gas station' soup, because it tastes just like the broccoli/cheese soup you get at many SA's etc.. Thanks sooo much for a great recipe

WOW! I did the same thing as some of the others, added half Velveeta and half cheddar. I also used chicken bouillon, garlic powder and some zucchini. Turned out just yummy!

Wow! Used less Velveeta and threw in some heaping handfuls of shredded cheddar and Monterey jack. Also used powdered chicken bouillon instead of broth. I'm a soup person and this is one of the best soups I've ever made in my life. What a keeper! Nephew said it tastes like Outback.

I LOVED this recipe! it was great. i listened to the reviews and added 1/2 Velveeta 1/2 Cheddar. I also decided to add 1/3 more milk just because it was a little to thick for my taste. But it was great. Ill definitely be making this again.

This soup was wonderful. This is the first time I have ever made soup and my husband and I really enjoyed it. I did add a little garlic powder to give a little more flavor. It was wonderful. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed making this recipe.

I have been looking for a smooth and creamy broccoli soup and this is it..It isn't to cheesy.. The first time making this I made it exactly as the recipe calls. The second time making this I chopped up ham from the days before Ham dinner. It was so good.. I will make it both ways many times over. Thank you for sharing..

I made this soup as an appetizer for a dinner I was holding. About 18 of the 25 attending quests commented on this recipe as the best they have ever eaten. Thank you for your recipe.

This recipe was just what I wanted! I did alter it though, using real cheddar cheese and vegetable broth. My husband refuses to eat broccoli so I did make half a batch without broccoli and used 2 jalapeno peppers in it's place..it turned out to be an interesting, spicy yet good soup.

I made this soup for a luncheon and the prasies just came flying in! I altered the recipe a touch and used a previous suggestion to cut the velveeta in half and put some cheddar. I also added some cauliflower. It was absolutely delicious, thank you for sharing this recipe :-)

This came out wonderfully thick and creamy. As others I added a freshly minced garlic clove to the mix. Next time I'll use a little less cheese but that's just because of personal taste.

I made this soup following the recipe exactly. About halfway through this recipe the soup began to get really clumpy and thin. I was not impressed with the taste after the soup was done.

My family loved this recipe! It is easy to make too. I put some of the cooked broccoli in the blender before adding the cheese. I also used the broccoli stalks which you would normally discard. You just have to cook them a little longer than the tops.

Very good, I didn't have some of the ingredients and still it was good. I didn't have broth so I used the chicken Bouillon cubes in water, I only had a tiny bit of onions and I didn't use frozen broccoli-I used fresh. Still came out great. Thanks.

This was not just good but easy. I was out of milk (I know this never happens to anyone else):) So I used 1/2 and 1/2 instead. This was super flavorful! I did chop the cheese into small cubes as stated by other reviewers. I also added the cheese and waited a min or two until I stired it! Thanks for this awesome EASY recipe! Oh Man My husband just added salsa to his bowl wow!

Very good flavor, I followed the suggestions of other when they said half as much velveeta and used some real cheddar. My whole family loved it. I will definitly make this again and again. I am betting it would even taste yummy with some potatos.

Delicious with about 1/2 the amount Velveeta cheese substituted with about 2 cups real sharp cheddar cheese. I also prefer the celery and onion to be cooked in the chicken broth. I don't like crunchy celery in a broccoli soup. I added grated carrot and some diced potatoes as well.
