FAST HOMEMADE BROCCOLI CHEESE
SOUP FOR SUPER BOWL
 
You can do this from start to finish in just a few minutes, and it tastes TOTALLY homemade! Good enough for company! We serve in a bread bowl!

1 (22 1/2 oz.) can cream of chicken soup (family size)
3 tbsp. grated onion
2 tbsp. butter
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3 cups milk
1 pkg. fresh or frozen broccoli florets, steamed until very tender

In a large pot, sauté onion in the butter. Over low heat: Add can of soup (undiluted) to pot and stir.

Add cheese and stir until thoroughly melted. Add milk and whisk until smooth. Add the broccoli and stir. Simmer until bubbly.

This is also even better using a package of mixed broccoli and cauliflower, steamed.

You may add two packages of broccoli if you like it really broccoli-y. I just buy the plastic bag of Mann's broccoli, poke a hole in it, and microwave the bag for 6 minutes to steam it perfectly! Then just dump it in!

After sautéing the onion, you can put all the ingredients into a Crock-Pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbly.

Hey I just tried adding a small amount (maybe 2-3 tablespoons each) of finely chopped red and green bell peppers (sauteed with the onion) and it gave this soup yet more flavor and color. Cool twist on a fave!

What would be a good substitution for the cream of chicken? Thank you.

 Lynn (Florida) replies:
Probably any "cream of" soup would work... celery, mushroom or even broccoli or cheddar?

 Woodie (Connecticut) says:
Great soup. Half Swiss, half Velveeta gave it a subtle flavor. After the cheese went in, it became a chowder, and the Fam loved it.

This is so easy and delicious! I steamed the broccoli in the microwave while sautéing the onion. I used two cups 2% and one cup fat free half and half. When I added the broccoli I used my immersion blender a bit to chop up some of the broccoli.
