I did not enjoy this soup as much as I had hoped to. After an hour and a half in the kitchen, I was left with a strangely textured soup and a very big mess. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to transfer hot soup to a blender and back again without making a big mess or burning themselves? I also didn't use a big enough pot to begin with (even though I used less potatoes and onions than it called for), so halfway through I had to transfer everything to another dish. When I added the cheese, the soup smelled great, but it wouldn't melt! Despite tampering with the temperature and frequent stirring, the end result was a broccoli and potato soup with a nice broth and big clumps of cheddar cheese. While the soup did taste good (especially with a little garlic bread!), it was not any better than any other recipe for broccoli and cheese soup, and the texture was rather upleasant. I do like the idea of adding potatoes, but I think a cheese soup needs to have more of a milk/cream base in order to come out to the right consistency.
