Cheesy Broccoli Soup

Recipes »  Soups, Stews and Chili  »  Cream-style Soups

This broccoli soup is very cheesy. You can use any type of cheese that you like or have on hand. The taste of the soup depends largely upon the flavors in your chicken broth, so choose a good quality broth for this. I use homemade chicken broth with lots of celery, onion and carrot flavors, but a good quality canned variety should also work.

 "Great soup! I had a bunch of left over broccoli from dinner ( a very rare thing around here) and whipped up a batch of this soup. It was tasty last night and even better today. Yum! " - jillwiedenman

    This soup was so delicious. I used 3 cups of shredded sharp cheddar because my family really loves cheese. What a wonderfully easy, from-scratch recipe!

    Thought it was very good, but next time will use a little milder cheddar to have a creamier taste (I used sharp tonight).

    Great soup, very easy. I substituted cheddar with emmental, still really good
