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.

It was good but very rich. I might add less velveeta next time or maybe more milk. Also, I didn't add nutmeg.

The soup was very good. I also am not a fan of nutmeg so I didnt add it. I also added some cauliflower along with the broccoli just for more vegetables. The soup was great! Very creamy

By the way, I am not a big fan of nutmeg, so I didn't add it and it was great!

It was very good--but so rich! I might not add the nutmeg next time- it seems like i could taste that the most. Great soup to make- fast!

This was delicious! I made it for me and my husband and he LOVED it! I just add a little bit of chopped bacon to the recipe. Perfect for a snowy evening!!

This soup was delicious!!! I was hesitant after reading some of the other reviews, but it was awesome. I used chopped broccoli and chopped cauliflower. I also added some bacon pieces. I paired this with some garlic toast and a glass of red wine. The perfect dinner for a cold evening. Enjoy!!
