Very good. I followed some advice by other reviewers and reduced the onion to 1 cup, and sauteed a couple cloves of crushed garlic with the onion. I used vegetable buillion instead of chicken and replaced 2 cups of water with milk. I added the broccoli to cook with the potato for the last 8 minutes along with 1 cup chopped carrots. I served it with cheddar flavored goldfish on top. Next time I am going to reduce the cheese by 1 cup, 2 cups is enough.

I'm always looking for a good, thick soup that isn't super unhealthy. The last time I made broccoli cheese soup I thickened it with cornstarch instead of reducing a cream base, which just gave it a gelatinous texture, so I was happy to find this soup that's naturally thick and a dinner in itself. I substituted half the water for non-fat milk and used 1 1/2 cups low-fat monterey jack cheese instead of cheddar, and put in more broccoli than potatoes. I also cooked the broccoli with the potatoes on medium for about 25 minutes and then blended. It was perfect for leftovers for the week!

This was really good. I had some leftover broccoli that I had to use. (It was parboiled and frozen, then thawed.) I didn't ave any onion so when I salted it, I used onion salt. I also used that better than boullion soup base, which worked great because it already has seasoning. Also, I didn't really measure and my soup was too thin, so I added 1 T of instant potatoes. All in all very good!

Such a great soup. To make it vegetarian I added as one reviewer mentioned vegetable bullion instead of chicken, and also 1 1/2 Cups milk...so rich and creamy for those chilly fall days!

This was a tasty soup recipe. The only signifivant additions i mad were to use 1 cup milk, half a package of bacon, and used red potatoes unskinned. There is quite a bit of work like chopping onion and potatoes, steaming broccoli, etc. But there is quite a bit of soup so its good for my wife and me for days. Thanks for the recipe.

This was awesome!!! I generally stayed with the recipe except I use Campbells Chicken broth rather than water and boullion. I cooked the raw broccoli in with the other stuff for the last five minutes cooking time. Definitely use process cheese (I used low fat cheese slices). One last thing, if you blend the brocolli with the potatoe and onion mixture - you will be a pea green color which some people may find it unappetizing. If you don't want this color soup, simply blend the potatoe mixture without the broccoli and keep the broccoli piece whole in the soup. One last thing...I added celery and I topped the soup with ground pepper when serving. This was one of the best soups I have ever tasted.

Great soup!! I ended up blending more than 1/2 the soup. I added a little milk, and decreased the amount of onions. GREAT SOUP!! Will make again.

I made this with the amount of potatoes called for and felt it tasted much more like potato than broccoli. Next time I make it I will just use fewer spuds. I also pureed the entire batch so my kids wouldn't recognize the broccoli! I think the people who complain about the color are using frozen broccoli. If you use fresh, it should be a nice green color.

Well, I was short on things to cook for dinner tonight and made this b/c I had all of the ingredients. Sometimes necessity produces the best and most unexpected things. First, I read all the reviews and made the following changes, which I recommend. I sauteed garlic w/ the onion. I also used about a cup and a half of Velveta. I boiled the potatoes for 10 or so min, then threw in 3/4 of a bag of frozen broccoli and cooked together. When cooked, I pureed exactly half of the soup, returning it to the pot for a good combination of smooth and some 'bites' of potato and broccoli, which makes for an interesting soup. Not necessary, but I happened to have a can of broccoli cheese soup, so I added that, as well as 1/2 or so of sour cream at the end. I seasoned with white pepper and a few dashes of cayenne. Served with Bisquick drop biscuits. Just yummy, if not low fat. This will be a family pleaser and a great soup to take to new mommies or someone just out of the hospital.

It was just ok for me, tasted a bit like liquid mashed potatoes with cheese. Next time, I will try to use a recipe that calls for more broccoli.

Great soup. I used canned chicken broth instead of water and bouillon cubes. I threw frozen broccoli in after the potatoes had cooked for a few minutes. I also only used about a cup of cheese and sprinkled it on the top to make an orange swirl on the bright green soup. Pretty and delicious.

it turned out pretty good. i made adjustments. first off i was out of onions and only had one can of broth. so i added three cups of water to the broth instead of using the bouillon. also i wanted bacon in my soup so i fryed up for pieces and used the grease instead of the butter. i also added about a tablespoon of butter for the flavor. and instead of using one kind of cheese i used about a cup of sharp cheddar, about a cup of colby jack, and about two cups of parmesan. i then added a cup of heavy whipping cream to the cheeses as the potatos cooked. i steamed my broccoli and added it to the cheese mixture.in the end i mixed the broccoli mixture and the potato mixture and topped it off with my crispy bacon.

Delicious!!! Here's my vegetarian alternative: Mona's Adjustments: 3 knorr extra large veggie bullion cubes double the broccoli: add 3 cups to the last 5 minutes of potato cook time, chop the rest and add at the end with the cheese. when blending in the blender, add 2 cups whole milk reheat to melt cheese and cook chopped brocolli.
