Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
For a richer flavor, try using Gruyere or a blend of cheeses instead of Cheddar.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the soup and milk mixture for added warmth and complexity.
Toast the breadcrumbs lightly in a dry pan before mixing with the butter for extra crunch.
Feel free to substitute frozen broccoli florets, just be sure to thaw and drain them well before using.
