Delicious, warm and guaranteed to make cold fingers toasty again. This soup is hearty thanks to chopped broccoli and velvety thanks to our combination of cheeses.

This soup was really good and easy to make. I used fresh broccoli since I had it in the fridge.

I thought this was amazing! I did use a 16 oz package of broccoli instead of a 10 oz and I added some chicken breasts, but overall this soup was great!

When I made this, the cream cheese took forever to melt. I also tried to make it in the microwave. That wasn't the best decision. I reccomend making it on the stove, and you should take more time melting cream cheese. I would not make this recipe again.

This is the best broccoli cheese soup I have found - it is easy and calls for items I normally have on hand - even my 3 & 4 year old ate this!! Thanks!!

This is a wonderful soup. It comes out very creamy and rich so a small bowl can really fill you up and leave you feeling statisfied and a cold winter day. My husband just loved it!
