Nice creamy texture. I cut some fat by using light cream cheese, reduced the butter to 5 tbsps and used skim milk to make the cream soup using recipe Specialty Soup Substitutes - Cream. It was still rich and delicious and easy to make. Even though I'm used to cheddar cheese in my broccoli casserole, I didn't miss it. Thanx for sharing.
