Very good! However, I've have made alterations. Double the broccoli (32 oz). 2 cups of evaporated milk, instead of regular milk. No garlic powder. 2 tbsp flour instead of 2/3 cup corn startch, I thought the corn starch added a chalky texture. Prior to adding the cheese I removed half the mixture and blended it, this gave it a great creamy base.

Excellent recipe! I made only a couple of changes and let me tell you, it went FAST! I omitted the onion and sauteed fresh broccoli in the butter (didn't use frozen). I also doubled the cheese (used a 32oz. loaf). Then I made a triple batch and it fed 21 people total (just my family and the teen friends) with only 5 servings left over (which frreze BEAUTIFULLY btw!). We paired the soup with sandwiches for some, garlic bread for others, and just crackers for the rest of the group. This recipe satisfied people 6yrs to 53yrs old! I have a large family (many kids) and easy and satisfying meals such as this are such a blessing! Thank you so much for sharing... I see this one in my family for many years to come!

I planned to make this soup days ago and when I finally did, I found that I didn't have all the ingredients so here is what I did. I didnt have a whole onion so I used what little I had and added a leek (white part only), I only had 1/2 a pound of brick cheese so I sliced the whole recipe in half and used broth cubes instead of broth. Fresh broccoli instead of frozen. The soup is fantastic. I will definately make it again.

My brother asked me for an easy broccoli cheese soup recipe that he could surprise his new wife with. I didn't have one but looked and found this one...which was a major hit! His wife was not only surprised at the fact that my brother had made soup from scratch, but was blown away at how good it was. My brother said this was incredibly easy to make even for a novice cook like himself.

This soup turned out better than expected! I was a bit nervous about it tasting like milk and cheese, but was pleasantly surprised. I did blend it together with a hand mixer at the end so there were no broccoli chunks. It made a nice creamy soup. I will try "real" cheese next time though, just for the health factor.

I opted to use cheddar cheese lilke may reviews before me, and my kids did not like the texture of the soup. Wish I had gone with the Velveeta.

2-3 cans chicken broth only. Also I did 3 C. milk. Shredded cheese, not processed. Fresh broccoli, not frozen (steamed first) then it was really good. I recommend these changes. Perhaps a little less garlic.

Very good soup, I used fresh broccoli and it came it just as good. I didn't have cornstarch so I used a flour/milk mixture to thicken the soup. Will definitely make again, but will cut back a little on the velvetta.

This was awesome soup I huge hit and the recipe made plenty I put a bunch in my husbands lunch for the next day also froze a bit for later... The only thing that I changed is I doubled the cheese I was also told it would be even better with more broccoli but I'm not a big veggie eater so it was perfect. I also served it in a bread bowl delicious one bowl filled us all up. It was definitely something I will make again.

Soup was really good- would have been 5 stars if it didn't have to be "tweaked" as much. I also used 4th can of broth to mix with cornstarch instead of water. Also added some grated "real" cheese rather than adding any more processed cheese. Very good- served with buttermilk biscuits!

This soup was excellent, even my 5 & 6 year old enjoyed it. There was enough leftover to freeze & enjoy on another cold night. I did follow along w/ the other reviews when doubling the cheese & broccoli & I used heavy whipping cream instead of milk, just because I like it. I also followed someone else recommendation & used 2 cans of chicken broth instead of the cup of water. It was delicious & I can't wait to make it again.

I liked this recipe a lot! Definitely a keeper...one suggestion: Use 2 (14 oz) bags of broccoli..there wasn't enough broccoli to me. I used 2 (32 oz) cans of chicken broth and used 1 cup in place of water to mix with the corn starch. Other than those changes it was delicious!

Yummy. I followed the advice of others and doubled the broccoli and the cheese; omitted the cornstarch and my hubby and I loved it...it does make quiet a bit though. Next time I might do like GinnyAnn1 and add some cauliflower and carrots that sounds yummy
