Description
This is the BEST Cheese and Broccoli Soup ever!
No one needs to know how easy it is!
Tastes Exactly like “The Black Eye Pea” restaurant recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Lbs. Fresh Broccoli, Cut Into Bite Size Pieces
- 2 Cups Water (can Use Chicken Stock)
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 Cup Cornstarch Mixed With 1 Cup Cold Water.
- 1 Pint Half-and-Half
- 1 Lb Velveeta Cheese, Cubed (yes, I Know.. Its Evil, It's Processed, It's Un-naturally Yellow, It Has A Shelf-life Longer Than Twinkies, But It Works The Best)
Preparation
Steam broccoli till tender-crisp.
Place half-and-half and water in a double boiler. (If you don’t have a double broiler, you can use a large metal bowl sitting on top of a large pot of simmering water. This stuff burns and sticks very VERY easily, so I wouldn’t risk cooking it straight in a pot over heat. Been there, burned that!)
Add cheese, salt and pepper.
Heat until cheese is melted.
Add broccoli.
Mix cornstarch and water in small bowl. Stir into cheese/broccoli mixture in double boiler and heat over simmering water until soup thickens.
Serve with a crusty bread and a salad.
PERFECTION!
ENJOY!

Delicious, and so easy!

Thank you for this recipe – I’ve also tried others that were not very good. Here were my variations (not much healthier, maybe, but I just can’t use Velveeta). I grabbed some Mexican Dipping Cheese (near the ricotta in the refrigerated section) because it melts in much the same way. Since it tastes a little differently, I also added some sharp cheddar to the cheese once the rest was melted. This melted quickly. Added the other ingredients and a little garlic and onion. Delicious!

This was good, and really easy. I used heavy cream and skim milk in place of the half-and-half, and it worked great. I also used frozen broccoli, lol. It was SUPER easy and very yummy, without being way too cheesy which was impressive considering the use of Velveeta. Thanks for a great recipe!!!

Wonderful! I’ve been looking for a broccoli cheddar soup recipe forever. Tried a copycat recipe earlier in the week and it was terrible. Yours was awesome. Totally a keeper recipe.

This is the very best broccoli & cheese soup I’ve ever tasted. I fixed last night for dinner and my 16 year old could not wait till 6pm to eat; we ate dinner at 4:45. Bought a round loaf of bread & made a bread bowl to serve in. Thanks for the recipe. This will be a regular cold weather soup & my house.
