Delicious, Rich Soup

This was a fantastic soup! I'm not that into cheese and broccoli soups, but my family is so I gave this a shot, and they all loved it! To the person who said there was only 1/2 cup of wet ingredients....I think you forgot about the 3 cans of broth!

We loved it!

I made this for my family over the weekend - on a chilly, rainy day. It was so good & tasty and everyone loved it, even my picky 9 year old daughter! yummy!

Only one problem

The soup taste great and the time to prepare it is wonderful. My only "dislike" is mixing 2 cups of dry goods, the milk and flour, with only 1/2 cup of liquid. Almost impossible to moisten all the dry goods. Then when you drop the mound into the pot it clumps. Any suggestions? Is their an error in the amounts?

GOOD

This recipe is very delicious my family at it on the day after christmas. We needed something easy on our stomach's because of all of the rich food for the holidays. Everyone liked it and it was just right for calming everything down on a cold afternoon.
