My kids don't eat anything with green stuff in it and they both loved this soup! It's easy and it tastes great! Thanks, Andrea -
Broccoli Cheese soup is a favorite of my son's and he orders this whenever he can at a restaurant. Both my husband and son felt it was okay but was too bland and gave it a 3 and 4 stars respectfully. I am not a great fan of cream soups but gave it a 4 stars based on the ease of preparation. The consistency was spot on and I would probably use this recipe again adding celery and roasted red pepper and adding some pepper and garlic for seasoning. -
I cut this recipe in half for just the 2 of us & then substituted a momemade vegetable broth for the chicken broth! Also used a mild cheddar! Other than that I pretty much followed the recipe & we had a great soup addition to our lunch! Thanks for posting the recipe!

I started baking when I was 8 years old and started cooking when I was 11 years old. I come from a big family and my mom allowed me to help in the kitchen at a young age. I like to cook from scratch and make up my own recipes and am always trying something new. Usually when I'm cooking I am using several recipes to make my own recipe!
