My husband Eric and I eat dinner together to spend some quality time together. This cheesy soup is proof that soup doesn't need to be made in big batches to be good.—Cheryl McRae, West Valley, Utah

I always seem to have the ingredients to make this soup. We like a little more cheese than the recipe calls for. It's very easy to put together. Double or triple the recipe to serve more. It's a keeper.

I'll keep this recipe on hand for a quick warm meal. I omitted the salt and increased the cheese. Served with cornbread - delicious!

I liked the soup, but I added about 1/2 to 1tsp of worcestershire sauce, 1/2 clove of garlic finely minced, and a little cayenne powder. I also sauteed the broccoli with the onions and butter, because I like my broccoli a little more soft.

I forgot to add that we pour the soup into a blender, blend and then return to the pot to simmer a little while longer.

We make this every December 26 and love it. We usually triple the recipe.

This soup is good, i suggest not addig the salt until you add alll the ingredients and after you taste it. The cheese gives it a lot of salt so it was too salty. I also used heavy cream and milk and added more broccoli.

I doubled the recipe for my family of 4 and it was MORE than enough. The soup was very good itself, however I thought it was missing something at the end. I added a probably a 1 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder and that did the trick for me! Thanks for a great, quick, and easy dinner!

boiling a recipe with milk in it makes it curdle. It had a strange texture with that and not much flavor. I won't be making this again. sorry.

This was very good! I used vegetable stock, doubled the recipe and halved the butter. This gave my mother and I a generous dinner portion and a lunch portion each! Will definitely be making this again!!

This was good, especially considering how easy it was. Needed something more, though...
