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 HAVE BEEN USING THIS RECIPE FOR YEARS. IT IS A FAVORITE OF OURS. I DO NOT USE ANY NUTMEG BECAUSE OF MY FAMILY'S TASTE PREFERENCE. I WILL CONTINUE TO USE THIS RECIPE. IT IS VERY RICH AND CHEESY.

This soup was delicious! The cream cheese makes it so rich and just a touch of sweetness. One of the best soups I've ever eaten. I'll be making it often.

This soup is very cheesy and quite tasty. It almost needs something else in it, though, possibly potatoes. Would definitely make again.

Good Soup, but next time I may use regular cheddar cheese.

made it one weekend, it was terrific and husband who normally doesn't like Broccoli, said it was GREAT and would eat it again. I also sprinkled a few crumbled Bacon Bits on top. Yummm!
