  • Steam broccoli in microwaveable bowl with 1/4 cup water, for about 3-5 minutes. Cool a bit, mash with a fork.
  • In a small saucepan, melt oil and butter.
  • Saute onion on low heat, with salt and pepper for 2 minutes, add garlic, stir in flour to make a roux. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly. Add mashed up broccoli.
  • Add cheeses, and cook until it thickens. Sprinkle with desired cayenne pepper.
  • You may wish to add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for an added zip!
  • If you dislike Cheese Whiz, use an extra cup of shredded cheddar.

  1. This soup is so easy and very tasty! The only flaw with it is that it only makes two servings! Luckily, it's easily doubled...I used Velveeta cheese instead of the cheese whiz because that's what I had on hand and I added closer to 3 cups of milk because my soup was getting really thick. I also threw in some chopped fresh spinach at the very end because I had some on hand. Great recipe, thanks for sharing! Made for PAC Spring 2010.
     
  2. Quick and easy made soup. Great tasting. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. Very good soup! I will definitely make this again.
     
  4. I quadrupled the recipe and used velveeta cheese and cheddar cheese. I also used half and half and whipping cream instead of milk. The soup was delicious. I used four cups of broccoli but it could stand about another 1 or 2 cups since it is mashed before putting in the liquid. Very easy recipe. I will definitely make again.
     
  5. This was excellent soup! Very quick, easy, and delicious. Thank you for sharing, grammabobbie. I will be making this often and have stored it in my "keepers" file. I didn't change a thing.
