    Thanks to YOU, Wendy13, our roommate had a wonderful 30th birthday party!!! Our roomie, Michele, is of the "I HATE vegetables" ilk and I do mean ALL vegetables! Slowly, we've been changing her mind, with my Turnip and Rice soup, Split Pea and others. However, she does remember that 10 years ago, she ate Cheddar/Broccoli soup and she waxed euphoric over it. I searched this site, and after the 19 RAVE reviews that your recipe garnered, I whipped it up as a surprise for her birthday dinner. It actually brought tears to her eyes; the fact that it was as good as she remembered and that someone would make it from scratch for her. THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving her a Happy Birthday! I followed the recipe exactly; adding 8 slices of Velveeta Cheese and 2 Cups of Kraft Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese. I also added a stalk of celery, since other recipes included it. Lastly, I place 5 dashes of Tabasco sauce at the end, to add a tiny bit of zip. All 6 servings were consumed immediately, although only 3 people were at the dinner. This recipe is a WINNER!!!!

    The best broccoli soup I have eaten to this point. Turned out very smooth and with an excellent taste. I used 12oz of Velveeta in mine, and the taste was just right. Also reheated well. As suggested, I served it with pepperoni bread.
