I thought this soup was fantastic. Unfortunately I am watching calories and couldn't quite bring myself to put the whole amount of cheese in. Just used about 2/3. Probably could have gotten by with half. I used fresh broccoli and steamed just a bit. I had leftover brown rice, which is why I tried this. I will make this again when I can indulge without so much guilt!!!
