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

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...

I subbed in some heavy cream for some of the milk. I also added a clove of garlic and a little nutmeg. Certainly needs more broccoli than it calls for. My husband loved this and he's pretty picky.

I added extra cheese to make it extra yummy! Tasted just like something I would order in a restaurant.

Really yummy! Needed a little extra salt and pepper. It's really high in fat, so next time I'll try cutting back on the butter and increasing the broccoli.

I doubled the recipe and added frozen broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. It was delicious! This one is a keeper.

My whole family loved it! Very easy to make and recipe can be doubled easily. The texture was smooth and it had a nice consistency--not too thin or too thick.
