This is a good base recipe. I too used chicken broth to cook the broccoli. I also added garlic and carrots and more chicken bouillon granules. My 1 and 3 year old liked it so I will be making this again. It needs more of a cheesy flavor I think but then again it would not be that healthy for you.

My boyfriend and I really enjoy this soup. It turns out to be thick even though I didn't use whole milk, I always use 1% because that is what I always have on hand. This soup is now in my regular rotation of meals, you have to try it.

Very good, but also very mild. I would recommend using a sharp cheddar to punch up the flavor!

Excellent recipe. Made it exactly per directions. I didn't add the cheese as I didn't have any in the house but it was still delicious.

My family and I absolutely loved this recipe! I made a few adjustments: I used cauliflower & broccoli (not only broccoli). I also added carrots to the onion and celery mixture (too add flavor). I pureed the stock prior to adding the purreed broccoli/cauliflower. Instead of adding the cheese as a garnish, I added all of it direclty to the finished soup and stirred until it was well incorporated. Simply delicious!

This is a great recipe for broccoli and cheese soup. I did make a few changes to suit my own tastes. I used chicken broth instead of water and put in a lot more cheese than called for- probably 2 1/2 cups in total. To make it richer I used 1 cup of half and half and only 1 cup of milk. I also didn't bother putting celery in it. I'm sure the original recipe is good the way it is I just prefer a thicker broccoli soup. All in all a very good recipe! Thanks!
