We liked this soup. I especially loved the simplicity, and the speed; I had it whipped up in no time! I served this with rolls and tortilla chips for dipping, and both worked very well. Thanks for such an easy recipe! Made for Spring PAC 2010.

Susiecat has id dead on. I found this recipe after reading her review for the Easy Country Gravy and had to try it. What a treat. I used 2 cups of Easy Country Gravy and follwed the rest of the recipe as written. After cooking I tossed in in my slow cooker on warm to keep hot. I served it with Garlic Pita Chips and Soda Crackers. It was gone in no time. A true keeper

Delicious and comforting soup! I can't eat cooked broccoli without a cheese sauce so this was right up my alley. ;) I added 1 tsp of granulated garlic and a bit of onion powder. Served it with buttered whole wheat bread for a quick and simple dinner. Thanks for sharing! **Made for Fall PAC 2008**

This is very easy, and very good. Mild flavors, an all-time kid favorite way of eating their broccoli. I did make one big change -- I didn't have any packets of gravy mix, so instead I used a 2-cup serving of recipe #193916 to replace the first three ingredients on the list, since the gravy mix specified makes 2 cups of gravy. With this substitution, the soup was thick, rich, and delicious. I'm going to pack this for DD's lunch in her Barbie thermos -- that will make for one extremely happy kid! Thanks, Mandy!

This was so easy and a quick to fix meal. I did find the soup a little thin in consistency, but the flavor is very nice. Next time I may add some onion powder or garlic powder, but if mild is your thing it is perfect as is. I served with tiny croissant sandwiches. I found the soup served more than 2 so I hope the calorie count is very wrong. Thank you for sharing a wonderful EASY recipe. Reviewed for PAC Fall '07.
