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

make this all the time. I add a squeeze of spicy brown mustard. Just for a little somthing extra.

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.

DELICIOUS! Recipe was wonderful the way it is but next time I might add rice.

The soup was a big success - my mother-in-law said it is the best she's had! I did make some adjustments to lighten it up a little, though. I increased the yield by 6x but kept the butter to 1/4 c. and used almost twice the called-for amt. of broccoli. Worth repeating!
