Creamy Broccoli Soup

photo by:kraft

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.

the cream cheese seemed very hard to melt, and the soup was very rich. We did like it, and I would make it again.

this recipe was very good. added extra cream cheese, but will probably not add extra next time. maybe extra velveeta. most ingredients on hand, which was great!

too cheesy. not enough flavor. I added a packet of dry chicken boulion to it for more flavor. needed more salt.

I thought this recipe was too "cheezy" the way it was, so I added 1 more cup of milk and 1 cup of chicken broth. I also added 2 cups frozen shredded potatoes (hashbrowns) to give it the potato taste too! My 20 month old daughter LOVED it!

This is a good recipe, but the soup is a little runny, not very creamy. Next time I make it, I'll try to find a way to make it thicker.

This was great! Made double and froze some. It was even better reheated up.
