Sounds like Brenda is full of herself. Excellent recipe. It's five by itself. I'm sure Brenda brought it down to three stars.
I did tweak this recipe and then it made it 5 stars! I used more onion and more carrots. I took some chicken stock and mixed it in with cream cheese to make it thick and creamy in place of using half and half. I used seriously sharp cheddar cheese and super sharp cheddar cheese and when the soup was done I pureed part of it to make a thick and creamy soup. This was an excellent soup with my changes!
Made this recipe a few days ago, everyone in the family loved it so much. First time I made it I used frozen broccoli, which was great, but the second time tried it with fresh, steamed broccoli and it was even better. Can't recommend enough for a simple delicious meal. Thanks for sharing this recipe with our family!
Delicious! Everyone loved it. Didn't change a thing. Good thing I doubled the recipe.
Better than any I've ordered at a restaurant!!
I really enjoyed this recipe as did my husband. The only change I made was to add some garlic with the onion. The soup is really flavorful and is surprisingly filling. I like that it can be made quickly with ingredients that are readily available all year long.
Wow just made this today! In love! I used vegetable broth as I am vegetarian and added some garlic cloves and cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit! So yummy!!!
I thought this was delicious even before I put the cheese in. I should have read the cook's notes and made a lot more though. As written, we had two not quite full bowls and would be good for a side. But I WILL be making more because it was so good and easy. The only change I made was using veggie stock since we're vegetarians.
Easy to make and tastes so delicious. I really appreciate that all of the ingredients are fresh. So many other recipes I read used canned soups (such as cream of chicken) or processed cheese. I read others reviews and, as one suggested, added a bit of garlic to the mix and I omitted the carrots and celery (because I don't like them in rich soups). I then doubled the recipe as the author mentioned. We loved it and are thrilled to have leftovers. This one is going to get used again and again.
