Excellent, cheesey soup! It is pretty rich with whipping cream, so I make it with extra milk instead. And I use fresh broccoli, cooked in the microwave steamer.

Excellent soup. My first time making broccoli and cheese soup and I wanted something easy and delicious! Exactly what this was. I did take the other reviews into suggestions and I tweaked the recipe a bit. I added a bit more broccoli, added a little bit of beer and an onion. It was SOOOOOOOOO good! I definitely recommend this to everyone!

I love this recipe although id probably drain the water and add way way way more broccoli (but thats just how i like it-a bit thicker!) and once i forgot to put in those bullions or whatever and it turned out fine!

I sent this as my son's lunch to preschool and all three of his teachers want the recipe. Not bad, huh? OH, and I had to make two batches in one weekend because I ate practically the whole first batch by myself. Only, I NEVER use the Velveeta/processed cheese. I used Cheddar, and in the first batch I threw in a little Colby/Jack mix and in the second batch a slice or two of Muenster. Add whatever you like, but I recommend basing it on Cheddar. Also, for my little guys, I smash up the broccoli before adding it so they wont freak out with the chunks and balk at eating the most healthy part of this soup.

My fiancee and I really enjoyed this recipe. The only reason I am giving it four stars is because I drained about half of the water out of my broccoli before I put the soup mixture in, and was still way too watery! Other than that, it was delicious! (Also, we added four cups of shredded cheddar rather than two and a half cups of cubed cheddar, and that was definitely the right way to go!)

I enjoyed this recipe very much. I added a little bit more cheese and pepper to it. This soup was easy and quick to make and my kids loved it. I hollowed out large rolls and filled them with soup and the kids got a good kick out of that.

This recipe was simple to follow and tasted great. I did puree a half an onion and added that. My kids loved it.

This was amazing! Comments were that it tasted like high end restaurant quality. A little bland at first that's why I gave it 4 * , so I added a little minced onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, garlic powder, dash of celery seed to the broccoli as it was simmering then at the end a teaspoon of Tony's Creole Seasoning (no extra salt or pepper) a dash of Crystal Hot Sauce for some zing.

I just made this soup, and I am disappointed. I should have not added very much of the water (from the broccoli) at all. I strained off some, but not enough. My soup is watery. It looked so good before I added the broccoli and water. Oh well, if I try this again, I will add the broccoli first, then slowly add water.

Yummmm. Definately a five star recipe. I tried this recipe and it was great.Being in the hotel industry my husband's opinion is valued the most in our family. He liked it too. I made a slight change in the recipe though. I dint have cream , so i added little bit of coconut milk powder instead. Believe me it worked out great.

Everyone loves this recipe. I used grated cheese instead of processed. I steamed 1 cup of fresh broccoli and put it in my blender with 3/4 cups water and chopped it there before adding it to the soup. That's the water I used, the blender water. It was great. I want to eat it every day!

This was a quick and easy soup to make. I added a total of 4 chicken bouillon cubes and also sauted about 1/4 onion, chopped, in 1 tbls butter first. I also used half and half in place of heavy cream. I wanted it a little thicker so I added a small amount of cornstarch/water mixture. It was quick and very good.

This was my first ever try at making Broccoli Cheese Soup and I made it for a group of 16 women! I tripled the recipe but had LOTS left over. I could have doubled it and there would have been plenty. They all loved it and told me it was better than Panera's! (a local favorite)I, personally, thought it could use a little more broccoli and I did not like the vague amount of water it called for in the recipe but I used commom sense and added just enough water to thin it out some. Delicious!!

Great for a cold, rainy, sleeting evening! I made this with what I had on hand: 12 oz broccoli, 3.5 cups whole milk, 2.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 4 cubes chicken boullion, and 1/3 cup flour. We loved it!! Very easy and tasty.

I only had a small taste before serving it at a large family gathering. It was very good. The cheese didn't melt as fast as we thought but by the time it was served it was smooth and creamy. Really good soup. There was nothing left.

This is a good recipe to encourage a reluctant broccoli eater especially if they like cheese. I have been trying to copy Quizno’s (a fast food place) broccoli cheese soup and this comes close. While the cheese was melting in a smaller pot, the frozen broccoli was simmering in a soup pot with the instant chix stock (I used 3t of chicken base like a previous reviewer)and the water used to reconstitute it, about 4 oz. Extra cheddar cheese and milk took the place of the cream since I rarely have it. Turned out great.

Rich and delicious and oh so easy. I added some green onion and used pre-grated sharp cheddar cheese. Didn't add the broccoli water because I wanted it really thick. I served this to company and they raved about it.
