3 cups water
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
2 bunches broccoli, chopped
1/2 onion, minced
2 cups milk
1/2 cup margarine
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Very good - I was looking for a recipe that didn't use processed cheese. This recipe turns out creamy and has great flavor. I used chicken broth instead of the water and bouillon but other than that, I made it as written. I think I will add 1/2 tsp white pepper next time.
I had to add a few spices to this dish to make it more flavorful. I added garlic powder, salt and pepper, seasoning salt and even a bit of cinnamon to give it something special. This really added to the already good soup. The only complaint that I had was that it was a bit too creamy. In all fairness that's just my personal taste! Great recipe! Might try again with ham or bacon bits!

Very easy and delicious! I was looking for a recipe that called for real cheese. Was happy to find this one. I left out the flour completely and thickened it with cornstarch instead. Also, I added some pepper and garlic powder. My kids ate it up!
This is so good! I don't use processed cheese so this was perfect! I also added chopped carrots for extra nutrition and used a carton of broth instead of bouillon and water. My kids and husband loved it. This will be used again for sure!
Excellent!! I used chicken broth, added chopped chicken breast, baby carrots, onions, red pepper, celery, and garlic. Very tasty, warm, colorful, and filling. Thanks!!
Made this last night in the crock pot...it turned out great. Added the milk and cheese about 1/2 hour before I was going to eat it. My kids loved it...even my picky eater had 2 bowls full. I also blended it a bit at the end. My kids don't like onions, so if I can hide them I do. I will make this again and again!
The whole family loved this soup!! I followed recipe exactly. I made recipe for "Italian Bread Bowls" and I served the soup in the bread bowls! The soup had such a creamy silky texture. I will make this soup again -as written.
Wonderful! Cheese flavor is better than any I've ever tasted in a broccoli cheese soup. Yes, I made a few minor changes based on what I had on hand. Used half the butter, half the cream cheese, and added a bit of black pepper. Fantastically thick and savory!
