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.

Oh my goodness!! I just made this tonight. It was so simple and I loved it. My girls loved it too. All I had to do is add a little bit of salt and pepper and it was perfect! You can probably add some cooked chicken chucks to it too :-) yum! This is great. Thank you so much for sharing!

I added one shredded potato to thicken the soup up a bit. I used cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken. Turned out great :)

Hi Micki,

You can substitute but it's likely to be different!

I just tried this recipe and it was easy and very good. Cnowlin, I added cooked instant brown rice to mine and it turned out very good. I followed the recipe exactly but I found mine was soupier than I liked so adding the rice helped thicken it up some, next time I will have an extra bag of broccoli on hand!
