Just made it. I used 1 cup of heavy cream, 2 cups of milk. I cooked my broccoli and then blended it up so it was thick and puree like. I didn't use the boullion, forgot that part! Whisked the cheese in slowly, and added broccoli puree slowly, adding broccoli water when too thick. Turned out really nice!

This was a very pleasant soup. I made a few adjustments. I left out the bouillon so I went a little heavier on the pepper. I used 16 oz broccoli which I think worked well. I followed Amanda's recommendation to add the flour to the cold milk with no problems. I substituted shredded sharp cheddar for the processed cheese. I'm looking forward to a yummy lunch tomorrow!

That's A LOT of cheese. It kind of takes over, flavor-wise. I love cheese, don't get me wrong, but the velveeta flavor is so strong you don't taste the broccoli much. My soup wasn't thick at all once I combined the broccoli in water w/the cheese sauce. Bummer. Wish I would've drained the broccoli completely before adding it into the cheese sauce.

I tried this recipe today. I used extra bouillon cubes, added onion, and subsituted cheddar cheese for processed (I hate processed cheese). It came out very thin and beyond bland. I will be trying a different recipe next time.

This recipe was wonderful. I did tweak it a bit...I added some extra shredded colby jack and sharp cheddar cheese, and used fresh vegetables...added white onion and a clove of garlic. Used the new Velveeta Sharp cheddar processed cheese for the base and it was wonderful. Turned out great.

This was a last minute choice when I realized I didnt have the salad I wanted to make for dinner. I didnt use the processed cheese I used cheddar and I subbed evaporated milk for the heavy cream. I used 2% milk. This was ok I changed it based on what I had on hand. I thought it was salty but nobody else mentioned it. I served it with home made garlic croutons, a half baked potato each and leftover cucumber onion and tomato salad.

This turned out SO good! I used 2 heads of fresh broccoli vs the frozen, 1 large chicken bouillon cube (what I had on hand) and a 1lb block of Velveeta. It didn't need any salt or pepper. It was perfect! I cut the broccoli up in little pieces, covered it with water and boiled it for about 10 minutes. I reserved 2 C of the broccoli water after cooking, in case I needed to thin the soup. Didn't use any of it. I think next time, I'll actually take more of the water out. It was a little runny but still tasted great!

I haven't made this kind of soup for a long time and couldn't find my receipe, so checked on here and found this one. I just finished making it. I had a little tester and it was delicious! I didn't measure my ingredients, just eyeballed and tasted. I didn't use any chicken bouillon cubes as there are a couple ingredients in them that I am allergic to (also why I had to go back to making my own soups). My husband doesn't like homemade soup, especially if it has anything green in it! I have found someone to share my soup with - my grandson's girlfriend. I texted her to see if she liked this kind and what a response! - she loves it! Hopefully I will find more soup receipes on here that will be just as good.
