Too much sodium

Virginia Elliott from Texas

When are companies going to wake up and cut the salt? It's killing people! Use NO sodium boullon. Yummy soup otherwise.
Delicious, Rich Soup

Marietje Hauprich from Ballston Spa, NY

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!

Angela Marion from Forest Hill, MD

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

Barbara from

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

Jessica Clark from ALBEMARLE, NC

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.

Just what I was looking for

Kaylyn VanHarn from Caledonia

My 9 year old tried a Broccoli Cheese soup at a church dinner and loved it. I tried to recreate but something was missing. This recipe is exactly what we wanted. Imagine, a 9 year old boy asking for broccoli! Thank you for a great recipe.
broccoli cheese soup

Lynn Brasel from Happy Valley, OR

My family enjoyed this soup. I did substitute fresh broccoli for frozen, cooking it until crispy tender before adding remaining ingredients.
Easy and Yummy

Linda Burpee from La Porte, TX

This is so easy to make and yummy, too. Add-ins are good, too. Different shredded cheeses, or green onions, or a dollop of sour cream as garnishes.
Good Soup

Deborah Byram from PATTERSON, CA

I check out different broccoli cheese soup recipes as this is one of my favorite soups. This one is good. My preference would be not to have to use dry milk. I plan to try it again using real milk. But the original recipe is still very nice.
Broccoli Cheese Soup

Melinda Wylie from SEARCY, AR

One of the best soup recipes I have made and very easy. I use a little extra cheese and only blended half of the soup to leave a lumpy texture. No complaints from any family members. Thanks for a great recipe.
Broccoli and broccoli

Tyler V. Wilkins from Milwaukee, WI

Great easy recipe, if you like broccoli, which i do! Couldn't really taste the cheese but it was good anyways!
Broccoli cheese soup

Barbara Heit from Cresson, PA

Very good soup. I am a broccoli lover and am always looking for different broccoli recipes. I did add a little more cheese to this recipe as I liked a more cheese flavor in the soup. Would recommend this soup to anyone.
Missing something

JOY MAPLES from Land O Lakes

We thought the soup was good but seemed to be missing something - probably butter which would make it not as healthy and low-fat. This is a great way to use up some of that big sack of broccoli we bought at a wholesale club.
BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP

LYNNE KRIEGER from YACOLT, WA

ABSOULTELY DELICIOUS. I ADD 1 GRATED CARROT AND 1 TSP. CREAM SHERRY. WOW. WILL KEEP THIS FOR THOSE BRISK CHILLY EVENINGS.
Very yummy

Christy from Snohomish, WA

This soup was great. It reminded me of a split pea, but with broccoli insead of peas. My husband loved it. I couldn't really taste the cheese that I added, so I wouldn't call it broccoli cheese soup, but broccoli soup. It created more dishes than I would have liked, but the soup was very good and it made good left overs. I would definitely make it again.

broccoli cheese soup

diane fox from sumner, IA

very creamy and has a very good flavor. not tocheese but enough for a good flavor.
great to make on a snowy day

SIRI BOWMAN from DOYLESTOWN, PA

I just made this while I was stuck inside in a snow storm in PA. However, I like to make things without having to go grocery shopping. I decided to try this because I recently got a bread machine for Christmas and happened to have the dry milk in my pantry from a previous recipe I had made with my bread machine.
Quick and Easy

georgia hoover from COLUMBUS, OH

This soup is so quick and easy to make. My family loved it! I did add a little more cheese.
Great Soup

Jamie Adams from Union City,TN

We loved this soup. My two devout broccoli avoiding children were converted, too. I used frozen broccoli with cheese, since we like the cheese quite a bit. It was super easy and delicious! My husband was still praising it three days later.
Excellent Soup

Brittany Cancienne from Thibodaux, LA

This soup great on a cold winter day with family and friends.
Excellent!

Jennifer Davis from EAGLE MOUNTAIN, UT

My family loves this soup. I have picky kids who won't eat other broccoli cheese soups because of additional veggies in them, but this is great. We make this quite often.
Wonderful Soup

melody Barton from Frisco, TX

My family loves Broccoli Cheese Soup from A sandwich shop near our home, but I have tried to follow other recipes before, and they would flop, but I tried this recipe and it turned out to be better than the from the sandwich shop. Thanks for all the great recipes.
Good

LEYNA SHAFFER from BEACH LAKE, PA

This looks really good and easy. It would be great for a cold winter dinner.
Great Soup

R. Salyers from New Philadelphia, OH

I made this soup for dinner last night. My son thought it was great. I added a little garlic and a little more cheese, we love cheese! With salad, and rolls, it was a perfect meal.
Great New Favorite

C Crago from Pendleton, IN

First homemade soup I've ever made, and this was easy AND delicious! Will definitely make this Fall/Winter favorite again and again...
Family Favorite Soup

Nina Mitchell from

Hi, I've been making this soup for over 15 years for our family. Our family loves this recipe. They think it take forever to make, they can't believe it when and where I told them I got this recipe, (off the label back then). What a fast making, great tasting, and super satisfying.
Yummy!

Diana Crowley from CHICAGO, IL

Simple to make and it has a wonderful taste. Great on one of those busy days.
Beer & Broccoli Chesse Soup

Brenda Broadway from Kenosha, WI

My family loves this soup, but I added a half can of Beer and let the alcohol boil out...MMMMM, just like from the resturants up north!
Broccoli Cheese Soup

Sheila Simoneau from BUXTON, ME

I love cheese soups, am especially fond of broccoli so this is ideal soup for me. Also think that you could get kids to eat also as the cheese take away the taste of the broccoli somewhat. Anything that can be done to get kids to eat veggies is a good idea.
Broccoli Cheese Soup

Irene Ross from Calgary, AB

Very good. I added just a pinch of nutmeg for a slightly different flavour.
Can't go wrong with comfort food

Marigay Bockhop from

This is a wonderfully filling soup that is easy to make. Great on a cold winter day.
Broccoli Cheese Soup

Irma Ortiz from Simi Valley, CA

This was my first time ever making Broccoli Cheese Soup. It was fun and really easy to make. It came out so delicious that it was the best I ever tasted. My entire family loved it. My husband is not a soup person; he really loved it and gave it two thumbs up.
Broccoli Cheese Soup The Best

Lisa Forbert from Brandon, MS

This recipe is terrific and simple to make. My husband loves broccoli and this is one more way to get it into our diet. I am so pleased to know I can use Carnation Instant Non-Fat Dry Milk in more than just my home-made hot chocolate mix. It just never dawned on me before. Thanks for a great recipe!!
Quick and Easy

Angie Garrett from St. Charles, MO

I tried this when I was in a BIG hurry and it was a success. I prepared this faster than my husband could boil the water he had started for spaghetti. Even my broccoli hating daughter ate it. Will definitely keep this in my recipe box to make even when NOT in a big hurry.
Broccoli Cheese Soop

Misti Sargent from High Point, NC

My family enjoyed this soup very much.
Great Soup

cherbear from Merritt Island, FL

I have a challenge of preparing quick, healthy meals for 2 adults and a 2 1/2 and and a 13 month old who only has 4 teeth. I loved this recipe and so did everyone in the house. My 2 1/2 year old son said " Tastes yummy and perfect, perfect" as he ate it up. My 13 month old also ate it with gusto...What can I say? I will definitely be making this one again! Thank you for sharing this great recipe.
MMmm Good!

Martha March from Ilion, NY

What a tasty combination of cheese and broccoli, two of my favorite foods. Especially delightful on these cold winter days. Warmed me right up. Smelled so good my husband wanted some, and he's not a broccoli eater. I'll definitely make it again.
Fast, eaasy & delicious!

Laura Snazel from Seattle, WA

What a great way to keep a favorite (comfort food) dish healthy without compromising on the taste! Believe it or not, my little picky eaters loved it!
easy and yummy

DIANE HACKER from Rialto, CA

This is quick and easy when you want something warm and satisfying for dinner.
Great for a cold day

Janet from Marietta, GA

This recipe is fabulous. Only took 20 minutes to cook and was still delicious warmed up the next day for lunch.
Weather pleaser

Cornelia Allen from Salisbury, NC

This sounds delicious! With the weather finally turning cool, I can't wait to try it!
