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.

I used fresh broccoli and cauliflower and grated cheddar cheese. Absolutely delicious. My entire family loved it.

This recipe was awesome! I love broccoli cheese soup and this was really easy to make! Just one small complaint though, the recipe didn't make very much so I doubled it, but other than that very tasty and easy! I will probably start making this at least once a week! No more Panera for me, I'm doing homemade!

This soup was great!!! But I did add a whole brick of cream cheese instead of 4oz, and didn't have any nutmeg. Turned out great. This will definately be one I make when the weather starts getting colder!!! Maybe add some chicken next time too.

This soup is great! I happen to love cheese so I added a little extra Velveta as well as some shredded sharp cheddar cheese. The ricepe is very easy to make. I would DEFINATELY recomend this to anyone!
