A nice comforting soup for a stormy summer day. The only change I made was to use broccoli cheese soup as I did not have cheddar cheese soup. Since carrots vary so much in size, I was not sure how much to add without the flavor overwhelming the broccoli so I used a small carrot. Served with a crusty bread for dipping. Made for Spring 2012 Pick A Chef.
