This soup was exceptional! I made it for my husband and he completely loved it! It is creamy and delicious. I was skeptical about the potatoes in broccoli cheddar soup but they really add to it! Overall it was a 5! I would say that this is better for the winter rather than late Spring like the description says. But this recipe will be made over and over again! I would not change ANYTHING!
