This is an awesome broccoli and cheese soup recipe!! I pretty much followed the recipe as written, but used one can cheddar cheese soup and one can fiesta nacho cheese soup to replace the velveeta cheese and also reduced the chicken broth to 1 1/2 cups. Very quick and easy recipe, the best broccoli cheese soup I have ever made!!

Great recipe. I modified a little. Sauteed garlic and shallots with cooking oil, added in finely chopped broccoli. I used reduced fat half and half cream, shredded 2% reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, added some spring onion. Used 1/4 cup butter only. Also added cubed sausages to the soup. Did not use velveta. Turned out great flavor despite using reduced fat ingredients. You can't go wrong with this.

so good and so simple!! i sauteed a diced jalepeno with the onion and added a few dashes of hot sauce before serving. i didn't have velveeta cheese but had tostitos spicy cheese sauce so i used a half a jar of that instead...can you tell we like it spicy????? lol i steamed the broccoli until very soft so i didnt need to use the food processor since the broccoli fell apart on its own. i'll make this recipe often.
