The best business recipe I’ve ever tried. My mother was made to pledge to keep it a secret when she received it the first time, 30 years ago. Broccoli and brown or wild rice make a tasty side dish for this.

I was looking for a simple and quick broccoli soup recipe, and this was it. Using ingredients I had on hand (fresh broccoli, cream of potato soup, barely a 1/4th cup of ff shredded cheese, and almond milk). I would definitely make this again; may even try it with cauliflower.
It was delicious!! My son (who loves cream of broccoli soup) also loved it!!
Perfect quick dinner. So easy to make. Thanks for a great recipe. I will be making this again.
great recipe really enjoying it. Regardless of the fact it wasn’t cooked with fresh ingredients it’s packed full of flavor I love it.
Easy
Just made this used cheddar cheese with fresh broccoli. Looks really good yummy
Loved it! I used fresh broccoli and Gloucester cheese instead and added a little bit of onion. Perfect for when you’re sick.
I have made this twice, and with soup I tend to double or triple batches for the sake of leftovers. The first time around, I followed the recipe as is and was made sick by the amount of velveeta. I chose this recipe for speed and convenience, not healthful ingredients and was just looking for a quick mid week meal. I never use velveeta, so I was surprised that doubling this recipe made it so overpowering. I just made a batch with everything doubled except the velveeta and found this much more palatable. Delicious for what it is, just be careful with the processed cheese.
I took advice from another reviewer and used some broccoli crowns I had in the fridge, which I steamed and instead of mushroom soup I used cream of broccoli. The cheese I used was not velveeta, but something very similar only spicy. I added about 2 tablespoons of grated parm to it just before serving. It was delicious and EASY! Definitely making again. Thanks for posting.
I used fresh broccoli but loved the idea of mushrm soup. fast and tasty. Used cheddar shredded. The recipe is the same. enjoyed it tremendously
I used fresh broccoli (ran it through the food processor) and shredded cheese. It didn’t add much extra time. It worked out great!
I added vegetable stock (one bullion cube) and one sauteed onion with about a Tablespoon of oil. Recipe alone will give you a very bland soup.
This will now replace my old recipe So simple and Delicious! I did add garlic an onion an used all white cheddar cheese and fresh broccoli! very good!
This has got to be one of the easiest soup I’ve ever made… and it was fantastic! I used Velveeta, because though I’m not a huge fan of the stuff, I know it melts better and has a better consistency… it was wonderful. I also used frozen broccoli – I thought the pieces might be too big, but they turned out great. Add personalized seasonings, and this is good to go, every time!
Actually, 3 stars is higher than I’d have rated it if I hadn’t altered the recipe a bit. I sauteed a small chopped onion before adding the rest of the ingredients, and the taste was simply “off”. Thanks for sharing the recipe, but I’m going to keep looking.
So simple! PERFECT dish when you come home on a chilly evening and need a quick hot meal to warm you up
Great, flexible recipe. I used fresh broccoli that I steamed. And used cheddar soup instead of one of the cream ones. Then used shredded cheddar for the cheese. Had to add more milk cause it was pretty thick. But turned out Great!
Made this following the recipe but substituted the cream of mushroom for cream of chicken as that was all I had. The soup was simple enough to make but required constant stirring to ensure no sticking. The soup wasn’t great but it was easy so I may make it again due to the ease.Make sure to cut the velvetta in small cubes or it will take forever to melt.
Just made this for dinner. It was so easy and really good! But don’t make the mistake of getting broccoli cuts instead of chopped broccoli, like i did. It was a bit chunky but still good.
Instead of Velveeta I used shredded Asiago, a bit more milk and added some freshly grated carrot. I also added some chopped up broccoli florets not pureed for a little more texture. Came out amazing!
Quick and easy.
