Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Made this soup last night and my husband said "it's a keeper". He was right. Easy to make once you get all the ingredients ready. Delicate flavor and very hearty. Great way to get your veggies. Yum and thanks!

I made quite a few changes to the base recipe. I added garlic and used a mix of half and half and whipping cream along with the milk to make it thicker. I used more chicken broth as well, 2 cans instead of just 1. When everything except the cheese is in the pot, I use an immersion blender to blend it all up instead of having bits of broccoli, potatoes, and onions floating in there so that it is all smooth. I added more Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, 16 oz, and I was able to almost double the recipe so that leftovers could be had the next day. The base recipe was good, but this is much better. 🙂 My family loves it and always want more, and I serve it with a good crusty bread. It is a very hearty soup!

This soup was delicious!! I got my two kids who don’t like broccoli to have 3 servings! and now they want more. I added a clove of a garlic when i was cooking the onions, and it really made the soup pop. oh, be careful with how much you salt. I will be making this soup again 🙂
