Recipe View Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot and garnish with extra broccoli florets or a sprinkle of shredded cheese, if desired. Enjoy!

For a richer flavor, use a combination of cheeses such as cheddar, Gruyere, and Monterey Jack.
To make the soup smoother, you can use an immersion blender to blend it before adding the cheese. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
If the soup is too thick, add a little more milk or chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally.
For a vegetarian version, ensure the chicken broth is replaced with vegetable broth.
