HOW DO YOU MAKE CHEESE AND BROCCOLI FREE

I have seen some recipes for broccoli cheese soup that call for 2 sticks of butter and 2 cups of cream! As luxurious as it is, in all its fatty and creamy glory, it became a once every year type of meal after I started to pay attention to what I was eating. In fact, this sweetheart of soups is traditionally laden with butter, cheese, and cream. It was my go to soupВ until I realized that just because it has the word 'broccoli' in it, doesn't make it healthy even if it does come in soup form. Like way the heck back, during my all-day paper writing marathons at the end of the semester, in college, and Panera was the only place that wouldn't kick me out after a few hours type of back. For the one that said it was too thin, not sure what she did wrong because it was thick!! Last but not least, I used the REAL cheese! 2- 8 oz bags of shredded cheddar and 1/2 of another bag I already had opened and added it at the end with the heat turned off.Broccoli cheese soup and I go way back. I probably didn't need it because it thickened it even further, which i don't mind but I may try 1 cup of milk next time to thin it just a tad. I also used light cream (8oz) instead of the 2 cups of milk. As soon as I added the cornstarch mixture, it thickened right up. When the broccoli was done, I pureed 1/2 of the broccoli in my blender and returned it to the pot. Like the others, I used most of the broth to cook the broccoli and mixed the corn starch with the last can. This was good because I used more broccoli. Actually, I used 1 (32 oz) carton of stock, and 2 (14 oz) cans for a total of 60 oz. I used 1.5 lbs of fresh broccoli crowns, mostly the florets. Instead of using garlic powder, I minced 2 cloves of garlic and shredded 1 carrot and cooked together with onion. of butter-1 whole stick would be WAY too much for sauteeing 1 onion. I'm always intimidated by new recipes but you will not be disappointed! Like the rest of you, I read the reviews before making it. Thanks for a great recipe (and lots of great modifications along the way from reviewers!). Served a/a diced tomato garnish and crusty bread.

Oh, and I used fat free evaporated milk instead of regular (though after adding I noticed the expiration date was 09/06.I don't reccomend that!). I thickened w/BC 4 cheese instant mashed potatoes. Before I added the cheeses, I strained about 1/2 the brocolli mix and pureed before returning to the pot-next time I will puree almost the entire mix (I like more creamy than chunky). I added a little less than a tbsp garlic powder (and next time I will skip this and saute fresh minced garlic in w/my onions), just under a tbsp worchestershire sauce and a dash of dry mustard. I used a pound of 2% Velveeta and a handful of 2% shredded jack cheese. I put all 4 cans of chicken broth in w/the brocolli. I used a bag of frozen and a fresh crown of chopped broccoli. I only used 3 tbls butter to saute the onion (about 1 1/2 C pre-diced-will actually use more next time). I kind of combined this and tons of reviews from this and Broc Soup III for my soup. Remember, if you use the cornstarch to thicken the soup, mix it with the cold milk first then you have to bring it to a boil with the rest of the soup. They are already asking me to make it again.

It was delicious and my whole family loved it. I stirred it together, and let it cook for about 3 to 4 hours on low, stirring at least once an hour. After boiling off some of the liquid in the pan, I added this to the crock pot. I sauted the onions, green pepper, and garlic in butter, then added the brcocolli and covered in the chicken broth and milk. I cubed the velveeta and put it in the crock pot on low. I didn't need the cornstarch or extra water since I used the crock pot. Here's how I altered the recipe - I used 2 lbs velveeta, 1/4 onion, 1/4 cup green pepper, 1/4 cup butter, 8 oz frozen brocolli, 1 can chicken broth, 1/2 cup milk and 1 tsp. This is a great recipe! My 4 year old liked it even after she found out it had broccoli! I decided to cut the recipe in half and to make it in the crock pot.
