flavor is just good - but it get 5 stars for being SOOOOOO easy

This is pretty good and easy to make.. I used Italian seasoning instead of just basil, used twice the amount of cheese, and add some garlic powder. Good for a quick meal!

Not all that great to my tastebuds, but it was easy.

This was good... not great... but good. This is the perfect recipe for when you have ingredients to use up or limited ingredients in the house. I like it alot, but wasn't blown away.

Excellent and so easy to make!

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! while eating it i couldn't stop myself from saying 'mmmmmmm' like every minute or so. really so good, flavorful, filling, low calorie! will make again and again. the only thing i changed was soy milk for regular milk, because im intolerant. mmmm good.

This was actually pretty darn good. Just needed a little more "umph" in the flavor department, but that's okay.

I was surprised at how good this soup really was! I doubled the recipe and added more cheese, and my kids finally ate broccoli!

Instead of broccoli I used frozen mixed veggies, cooked them in the microwave and sauted them w/ the butter and celery (I didn't have any onion). I followed the rest of it it a T. My aunt who is very sick w/ cancer ate a bowl of this soup which made me happy. My daughter asked for seconds but I said no because it is fattening, but it could be made a lot healthier using low-fat versions of everything, but in my aunt's situation, she needs the calories and fat, so I made it w/ 4% milk and whole fat cheese and so forth. I took a bite...it is rich and good!

We liked this very much after I made a few minor changes based on availabiilty and personal preferences. I did half milk, half stock and then used a stick blender to partly puree - all the creaminess with not as much fat. Also subbed some of the cheddar for parmesan for the same reason. Used about a 1/2 Tbsp of pesto because didn't have fresh basil. Only made enough for 2 of us though.

Delicious and easy to make my family really enjoyed the soup. Specially in cold weather.

Alright - not great. Found the pepper to be too much. Will reduce or elimate completely if I try it again.

I loved this soup! It took no time at all to whip up and my DH who is soooo picky licked his bowl clean. I did like others and chopped my onions (fine) and added approx. 2 cups of cheese. Wonderful on a cold winter's night.

Great way to use up broccoli. Like other readers, I also used about twice as much cheese and seasoned it with 1 tsp. chicken bouillon granules. It really only makes about 3 good sized servings for a main dish served with salad & bread. Had to use dried basil, of course you use less amount than fresh.

This soup was wonderful. I would definately suggest doubling as it doesn't make much.

5 stars for being flavorful and very easy to make. I also chopped the onion but added extra cheese and added a touch of garlic powder. Good served with bacon crumbles on top.

This recipe should be doubled, it doesn't make very much. Very good though.
