The family enjoyed this soup especially my DD. I didn't have monterey jack pepper cheese just plain ole monterey and used a homemade mix for the onion soup mix.

I love broccoli, but the DH doesn't. That is what led me to this soup. YUMMY! Quick, easy, delicious and even has a veggie in it! It is perfect!

I made this for a potluck and got nothing but compliments. I didn't have pepper jack cheese on hand, so I just used cheddar and added a 4-oz can of diced green chilies to give it some kick, which seemed to work fine.
