Made as written to start with but ended up skipping step 3. It didn’t need it. I found the broccoli ratio to be spot on. This was super easy and one I would make again.

We never use processed cheese, I don’t know why anyone would that doesn’t like the flavor. This soup was very good. I switched it up a little in that I sauteed the onion, added the cooked brocc, and garlic powder, then stirred .. then added potato starch (corn starch is not healthy) to the pot with the onion and brocc. Stirred, added the chicken broth, milk, and cheese. SO delicious!

Surprised to see an otherwise good recipe with “processed cheese food.” I used real cheese, delicious!
Gloria Bailey
Mmm mmm good. My husband an I made this together. It is amazing. My mom said oh my it’s delicious. We loved it
Alan Owens
I cut this recipe in half and used fresh broccoli instead of frozen. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. I don’t care for this soup mainly because of the processed taste from the “cheese food” (and I even used the name brand).

I made half the recipe but used 12 oz of broccoli instead of 8. I used an immersion blender to blend the stems and left the florets intact. I thought it was just ok. I had to season it with salt and pepper because I found it on the bland side. I make a much better recipe on this site which includes carrots.

Loved the flavor. I added a little more of cheese and cornstarch to reach the thickness that I want. Also used shredded cheese instead in blocks. No 5 starts bc do not have the reduced heat that you should do. But I went from medium heat at 7 to 4 and it worked for me to do my changes without burn the kitchen .

Amazing. Can’t stop eating it. The only changes I made were: Florets instead of chopped broccoli, and evaporated milk instead of regular. The florets are bigger so right before you add the cheese, take an immersion blender to the soup and break up the big broccoli pieces.

Everyone really loved when I served this! I only made two teeny changes: 1) I had to recalculate the amount of chicken broth, as my grocery store chose not to stock the 14 oz cans, and I had to calculate for 10.5 oz cans instead (changed 4 to 6), and 2) I used fresh broccoli instead of frozen. In spite of these two things, though, the recipe came out perfect! Two family members who were a little hesitant when I said ‘broccoli cheese soup’, actually came back for seconds and thirds! Highly recommend this recipe!

I put all of these ingredients in a crockpot without precooking any of it, and it was delicious!! I did mix the cornstarch with 2/3 cups of water before I added it to the crockpot. My husband loved it!
Jodi Quinn
This was a nice simple recipe. I did add 1cup of sharp cheddar cheese for a little more bold taste and used 1 clove fresh garlic with the onion. Served with French bread
Katherine Prince
Love it! Only did half since it’s the first time I’m making it. I used a portion of the broth instead of water for the cornstarch like the other comment said. Taste good and nice texture but color is a bit pale. I’ll try different cheese next time.
Teresa Jackson
Easy to make and very tasty! Will definitely be doing this one again.
Tanner Jackson
Came out great. But I am lazy and used jar of cheese sauce instead of the loaf. It melts faster
John Edwards
It was very good. Second time I rendered out some bacon fat from 2 slices of thick bacon. Removed the bacon and added in a stick of butter. I ended up using a couple kinds of cheddar. Some generic and some aged name brand. Added the bacon back at the end, to it’s not really just broccoli and cheese. Chopped up some carrots as well. Used a quarter cup of heavy cream in place of some milk for the second go around. Everything came out good. It helps to have some crusty bread to dip as well
Alexis Hickman
It was perfect and the whole kitchen smelled great
David Baker
It was good, kinda rough going with cheese food product, but knew it would melt easily. Swapped milk for half and half. Made it more creamy, filling and flavorful IMHO.
Jennifer Smith
This recipe is delicious as is as well as adding your own little tweaks, which I do, and is simple and cheap to make. I love it! It even keeps well in fridge and freezer to be eaten again and again. I added fresh broccoli, fresh garlic, and bacon and boy was it amazing!!! Sometimes I add carrots and celery too.
David Bailey
I have made this 10 times over it’s the best and so easy. Making it again tonight and stuffed peppers,,, nice meal for tonight
Sean Rogers
Very easy and good. I used fresh broccoli, heavy cream and flour as I didn’t have frozen broccoli, milk and corn starch. Turned out great.
Juan Long
This was very good. I did add 1 cup grated carrot and 1 cup thinly sliced celery.
