Ok, I did make some changes for our needs. I am allergic to fish, so I didn't add the tuna to the soup while cooking. Instead, I flaked it over the bowl for my DH. The broccoli was from a steamer bag, so it was really easy! I left out the salt, and used Lawry's seasoning because it has salt in it already. I also bumped up the pepper, but that is my preference. I also added some chopped scallions just because I really like onions and the color was pretty. So, I had a delicious Broccoli Cheese soup, and DH had a delicious Tuna Cheese Soup. He said it tasted much like a tuna melt. Made and Reviewed for Bevy Tag - Thanks! :)

I am the mother of two beautiful boys. I love to bake and cook which has helped me to become very overweight.
I have lost 50 pounds this past year and have been learning to cook "lighter". We still enjoy many of the same dishes we used to. However, I have learned portion control and how to make suttle changes to my recipes that don't affect the flavor.
