For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the broccoli before adding the cheese. This will create a creamier texture while still retaining some broccoli pieces. To elevate the flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce to the finished soup. If you don't have processed cheese food on hand, you can substitute with a sharp cheddar cheese, but be sure to add it gradually and stir continuously to prevent clumping.
