This recipe ROCKS for broccoli cheese lovers! on 11/16/2009
Being a Vermonter that now resides in Southern California, I found a block of Private Stock at my local Trader Joes and went straight to the Cabot site to look for recipes. Craving a great cheddar soup, I made the recipe and found it to be delightful. When cooking the onions I added a couple cloves of garlic. I love garlic! While eating I thought the next time I would use small red potatoes to add some color. Overall, this recipe is terrific! on 11/16/2009
