We really liked this recipe. One thing that I did differently was to blend the broccoli up in the blender along with some of the water to reduce the cooking time a little. This made it creamy and delicious.

I LOVED this recipe. My roommates were raving about it too, but I did make a few alterations. I added bite size chicken to the melted butter, simmered it with chopped onions, minced garlic, and 1 tsp of cayenne pepper (love the kick) then i added chicken stock, only 6 cups though. I love my soup thicker, so i lessened it dramatically. Stirred in a cup of flour, then the rest of the ingredients and simmered it all together for a good 15 minutes. added 8 oz of velveeta, and 1 cup of milk. the cheese melted within 5 minutes, then it was ready to serve. with the tweaks, it was delicious. definitely a keeper!

Wow, this was amazing. I made it a little less work by using rotisserie turkey breast. This was very simple and very very good. It also reheated very nicely.

We really love this soup! I've made it several times this winter. I always mince 1 or 2 cloves of garlic and add them to the butter before making the roux, then I add chicken broth to the roux slowly. I always make this with skim milk and a few tablespoons of either plain yogurt or sour cream. Yum, perfect every time. Thanks so much for this great recipe! :)

I changed this receipe a bit to adapt to our needs but it was delicious. I eliminated the chicken, used 1/2 broccoli and 1/2 cauliflower, used 2 % milk velveeta cheese, used chicken broth instead of the water and chicken cubes, and used milk instead of cream. I would make again!

Very tasty and hearty soup. I made a substitution with the chicken bullion and added chicken stock instead. It was a great way to use up left over rottiserie chicken. Will make again!

My 6 year old & my husband both loved this hearty soup. The only change I made was I used chicken stock. It really was delicious - thank you!

I wish I had used 2-3 cups LESS water because it didn't thicken as much as I would've liked. That's really the only negative thing I can say. I made my own chicken stock and shredded the resulting chicken for the soup. I then sauteed some garlic with the chicken and tossed in everything else. To cut back a little on fat, I only used 1/4 cup butter for the roux.

Delicious. If you cut the chicken small enough it will completely dissolve into the rest or the soup and make a creamy dish you don't have to chew. Great for people who recently had oral surgery or braces...

Excellent. I used a milk and heavy cream combo since I had some on hand I wanted to use up. It had a little much cheese for me but my daughter loved it. I don't know why I followed the directions to add the roux to the broth, it came out clumpy, of course. Next time I will make it separate and slowly add the broth broccoli mixture.

This was good. I made per recipe but though it was a little thin. I would use less broth next time and a bit of garlic and onion for additional flavor.

My family loves this soup. It is our Sunday "Cold Weather" pick me up. Instead of water I use chicken stock and it is always perfect.

I think this soup would be better with beer added into it, and without the chicken. Otherwise, this was a great dish!

Satisfying, thick soup. Like many other reviewers, I added broth to roux then continued with the recipes. I used a little less butter than called for and subbed 1% milk for cream. Frozen leftovers reheated well.

I tried this recipe last night and it was very, very good. I read some of the reviews and followed a little bit of all of them. I made the rue and then slowly poured into the pot 6 cups of chicken stock from a box and 5 cups of water. I also added 8 ounces of Velveeta and an extra cup of shredded mild cheddar. The next time I make it I will add a pinch of garlic. I was told this was better than Panera Bread's Broccoli and cheese and better than Carrabba's. My girlfriend told me this recipe surely goes into my recipe book!

I thought this soup would come out creamier. Maybe a did a mistake but I followed the instructions step by step. THe part where you need to mix the melted butter ad flour didnt come out the way it should have. It came out in chunks. Next time I would not use the flour and butter. My parents loved the taste of the soup. My sister who is a picky eater liked it too except for the flour ad butter. And as per me I foud it ok. Would prefer to try different soup next time.

Tried this for the first time last night and loved it. I varied a bit by adding maybe a half an onion and 3 stalks of celery that I minced in the food processor. I also used rotisserie chicken and diced that real small too. I don't like chunky soup so I also chopped the broccoli super fine. I used whole milk instead of cream and 4c cheddar. Yum!

On a cold, rainy winter day, this recipe hit the spot. It was easy to make and it tasted great. The only thing I did which differed slightly from the recipe is that when I made the roux, I let it brown for a while, so the flour/butter mixture was chocolate brown. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great.

Very good! I used ham instead of chicken, so I needed less seasoning. I also cut the recipe in 1/2 and it was just enough for a hearty bowl for 4 of us. Served with some garlic and cheese bisuits and voila! a nice comfort food to have a on this snowy winter night!
