Just made this tonight, and it was a big hit in our little family! I love broccoli & cheese soup, but even my "anti-trees" husband finished his bowl. I reduced the milk and upped the stock, in order to cut a few calories and up the flavor. I had leftover ham, so added that and floated sea salt croutons on top. Mmmmm. There's enough left for a couple of tasty lunches!

    I thought that it was a little rich for me, but the rest of the family enjoyed the soup. I did use a can of evaporated milk and topped the rest off with non fat milk and used a 6 year old aged cheddar for the cheese component. Thanks for posting an extremely quick soup to make.

    Woweee!!!! This was SO, SO, SO good!!!! I have been wanting a good recipe for this soup and my search is over! Sue, I never heard of steaming the broccoli first but it sure did preserve the BRIGHT green of the broccoli and made it look so much more appetizing than the gray-green color it fades to after extended cooking. I followed the recipe exactly except for the addition of about 1/4 c. of diced ham that I needed to use up. Next time I will double the recipe!
