I did not care for this recipe. All I could taste was the cream of mushroom soup in it.

This is a five star recipe with my changes. I halfed the chicken broth to 4 cups and substituted heavy cream for the cream of mushroom. I also add dijon mustard to my cheese broccoli soup it is the secret weapon.

Yummy comfort food! Being vegetarian I used veg broth. Also used cream of broccoli instead of mushroom soup. Used combination of shredded sharp cheddar and mixed shredded Mexican cheese blend. I finely diced half of the fresh broccoli before adding it to the soup (rather than using a blender) and the consistency turned out great! Will definitely make again!

AMAZING. Just as good if not better than Panera's broccoli cheese soup. Creamy cheesy and delicious. I used one can of chicken broth 1 1/4 cup milk 1 stalk celery 1/4 of an onion celery salt salt and pepper frozen broccoli (heated in microwave for 3 minutes) and just sharp cheddar cheese. Also I didn't have cornstarch so I looked up the substitute and used 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.

This recipe was simple and very tasty. I used chicken bouillon cubes because I didn't have any chicken stock. I also used half and half cream as well as the mushroom soup and with my immersion blender this soup turned out fantastically creamy. I don't think that you have to follow this recipe very closely it is very forgiving. I will make this again for sure!

I made this soup for a large group and had all compliments and several requests for the recipe. I used a suggestion from another member to use instant potatoes instead of cornstarch. Excellent.
