Fresh broccoli is cheap & plentiful this time of year, and I was looking for something easy that doesn't use FROZEN broccoli. This did it. I loooooved it! I did make it last minute, so I didn't have some of the ingredients. Here are my substitutions... 1. No cream of celery soup, so I chopped some celery (abt 1 cup) and cooked it with the onion. 2. No milk... Added 1 cup half & half and 2 cans of chicken broth and 1 can cheddar cheese soup. Only used 2 cups cheese (shredded cheddar, not processed) 3. Had frozen grilled chicken breast strips. Used them instead of the canned. 4. No mushrooms... no substitution. : ( Will definitely do this again. VERY easy! One suggestion: If you have one of those small food processors, chop the onions, celery & broccoli in the same container. Makes it very simple & fast!

made this without the mushrooms- our family won't eat them. It was very good- VERY thick! I added quite a bit of chicken stock to thin it out, maybe 3/4 of a cup to a cup. It was still very thick, even with the addition. My kids loved it- we will make it again!

GREAT soup!! We left out the mushrooms and chicken (simply because I didn't have any in stock) but chopped up a large potato and added that instead. It was great! We've made this recipe twice now and it is definitely one we will continue to use.

I took this to a soup supper and everyone LOVED it!! It was the only soup that was completely gone

VERY GOOD!! USED CUT UP CHICKEN BREASTS INSTEAD OF CHUNK CANNED CHICKEN. FAMILY LOVED IT!!

Tasty, but the moisture that comes out of the mushrooms makes it thin and watery. Pre-cooking the mushrooms would probably help.
