Cheesy Broccoli Noodle Soup

Submitted by Denise in NH

"Very good on a cold evening. Serve with garlic bread or crusty rolls. If there are any leftovers, you may want to add extra chicken broth as the noodles will thicken the liquid."

Terrific soup! Quick and easy to make, too. I omitted that 6th cup of milk to keep it on the thicker side. I have leftover, so I'm sure I may need to add milk again when I reheat it. I've always avoided making broccoli soups with noodles in them...... I just didn't think I'd like the combination. This recipe proved me wrong. Thanx for posting!

I used to make a similar recipe years ago, and my eldest DD requested it this week. I made this tonight and even my pickiest eater ate a small bowl! I used fresh broccoli, and topped each bowl with shredded cheddar. Very good, thanks for posting!
