This is a “souper” recipe. He, he! Really, I don’t mean to get “cheesy” on you. Ok, sorry I’m in a goofy mood. The recipe is for Broccoli Cheese Soup. The recipe came from My Kitchen Cafe. Love her. And I loved this recipe.
I loved the flavor that it gets from the combination of cheddar and swiss cheese. I made 1 1/2 recipes for my family of 5. We even had a little leftover. It may have even been better the next day as leftovers.
I also simplified the recipe my using a bag of Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers chopped broccoli. I love these. Take a bag from the freezer, toss it in the microwave, and in about 6 minutes you have hot steamed veggies. If you go the frozen bagged veggies just make sure to drain the broccoli before adding it to the soup. I serve mine along with Easy Potato Rolls.
