1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional but tasty)
1/4 cup cream or milk

Cooking Tips

Variations:

  • To make this into a vegetarian broccoli soup, simply substitute vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth.

  • If you want this soup to be thick with no large chuncks of broccoli, simply blend it using a hand blender.

  • Vary the taste by using different cheeses. Try swiss cheese or pepper jack for a taste twist.

  • Use cauliflower instead of broccoli and turn it into an easy low carb creamy cauliflower soup.

  • Be adventuresome and add other vegetables too. Try things like zucchini or onions.
