I love food! I am always amazed that there are always new things to try... even foods I hated as a child are often a new thing to love. I'm always interested in trying gourmet or cultural favorites. I dabble in the kitchen on whims mostly. Usually spurred on by upcoming events, parties, etc. I especially love a great presentation. Outside the kitchen I like reading to my kids, classic lit, fantasy, Harry Potter mania stuff, church stuff (weird mix?-- I think not). Right now we are in the mid-madness of getting the kids ready with their 4-H projects and getting ready to help with church camp which we volunteer for.

This Broccoli Cheddar Soup is the easiest thing you‘ll ever make! It only has 4 ingredients and comes together in literally minutes.

Sometimes when I watch my child bounce around the house from the moment he wakes up to the second he goes to bed, I envision I could syphon just a little bit of energy from him. You know, enough to give me a little motivation & make me feel no so zombie-ish – and enough to calm Mr. Wild Child Ball-of-Energy down just a smidgen.

But alas – there is no such thing as that because if there was, the sale of energy drinks & supplements wouldn’t be the multi-billion dollar industry that it is today.

This recipe is designed to keep all of zombie adults out of the drive-thru because even if you’re dragging your feet with exhaustion, you can still easily pull this broccoli cheese soup off.  I actually got the recipe for this soup from the cashier at HomeGoods – she wrote it on the back of my receipt for me, & I just had to try it.

How do I prepare this Broccoli Cheddar Soup recipe?

First thing is to cook your broccoli. I buy the 12oz packages of the fresh broccoli florets that steams in it’s own back in the microwave. I like a lot of broccoli in mine, but you can use less if you’d like.

Mix together the family size can of cream of chicken soup with 1 cup of milk in a saucepan, & heat til hot. Add in the cooked broccoli.  You can add a little more milk if you’d like a thinner consistency.

Now, stir in 2 cups of cheddar cheese.

Will cheddar cheese melt in soup?

Choose the Right Cheese Some creamy, mild cheeses also stretch into strings instead of melting which is why you rarely see a mozzarella-based soup. The best cheeses for soups are high in moisture and have a lower melting point, such as medium to sharp cheddar, fontina, Gruyere and Swiss.

How can I make canned broccoli soup better?

Dried herbs and spices are the easiest and most budget-friendly way to add flavor to your canned soup..
Italian seasoning: this blend of dried herbs works great with tomato-based soups, lentil soups, and more..
Smoked paprika: this vibrant spice helps to add smokiness, a subtle sweetness, and depth of flavor..

Does Campbell's make broccoli cheddar soup?

Campbell's® Condensed Broccoli Cheese Soup makes winning over any crowd easy. Our velvety, crowd-pleasing soup blends broccoli and Cheddar cheese with cream. Savor the comforting delight as-is or add it to show-stopping recipes.

Why won't my cheese melt in my broccoli cheddar soup?

You MUST use freshly grated cheddar cheese to get creamy broccoli cheese soup. Pre-grated cheese is coated in anti-caking agents which means it won't melt as smoothly.
