kalamityray says:

YUM! One of my favorite soups. I feel like this is a silly question, as it's a cream based soup, but is there a way to make a healthier version of this without sacrificing the flavor? http://thehaircarepro.com/tea-tree-oil-for-hair/
Cyd says:

You could try using a lowfat cream based soup to make it a little healthier.
Stephanie says:

How many servings is this? I'm planning to make it for my husband's coworkers on Monday and need to know if I should double/triple the recipe.
Cyd says:

Just click on the MAGIC button under the picture. This is our new sister site - MyRecipeMagic.com. It gives you all of the nutrtitional information on our recipes. You can click on NUTRITION and find more nutritional info.
Nissa says:

Can you freeze this after you make it?
Cyd says:

We have not made this as a freezer meal.
Gay Freeman says:

I've made your cheese/broccoli soup twice. First time was perfect.....2nd time it curdled! I followed your directions except I added all the cheese at once...could this be the problem? Why?!
Cyd says:

Hi Gay. Not sure what could have happened. We haven't had it curdle on us. Did you use the same cheese both times?
Kim says:

I am going to try this...i just need to find a substitute for Velveeta, I don't like it
Teresa Santini says:

Hey, this recipe looks totally delicious! I just made it though and it tastes sweet. Could it be from the condensed milk or is it supposed to taste sweet?
Lynne says:

Hi, I tried this last night- followed the recipe to a T except for the onions- I've never had onions in a broccoli cheese soup. Unfortunately it turned out awful- it was not thick at all- tasted like watered down Velveeta. Maybe a thickening ingredient is missing like heavy cream? I have made many soups in my slow cooker and I'm a bit of a soup snob. Any suggestions?
Cyd says:

This isn't as thick as some of our other soups. But it was thick enough with all of the cheeses. You could cut back on the broth a little for a thicker soup.
Cyd says:

This recipe calls for evaporated milk, not sweetened condensed milk.
Phallin @ CottageHomestead says:

I love all of your crock-pot recipes, can't wait to try this one!!!
Stephanie says:

Do I turn off the slow cooker before I put the cheese in? Or after?
Cyd says:

It won't matter. Just put the cheese in and let it set in the slow cooker that has been turned off. :)
Lena says:

I tried this recipe today, and followed it to a T. It curdled and doesn't look edible at all. The cheese is just sitting in chunks. I've never seen Velveta do that. What did I do wrong ?
Laura says:

What would you suggest to use in place of the Velveeta?
Cyd says:

You could also use cheese whiz that comes in a jar.
Kate says:

Hi there. I followed this recipe and unfortunately it turned out horribly. I have no idea what went wrong but it has no flavor except butter. I had a bad feeling about it though when I saw that the only thickening agent was velveeta (not even real cheese). Two thumbs down, sorry.
staci D says:

Hi I use you website a lot and always enjoy the recipes. I just made this soup and although it tastes ok I would like it to be a little thicker. Any ideas after its already made?
Maggie Otton says:

Very watery. Wasted a lot of time and money. Not good. Milk would have been better than broth water.
Kris says:

Just wanted to let you know: This isn't vegetarian due to the chicken broth involved. That being said ... my husband LOVES this recipe. It's his favorite soup and he gets excited like a kid when I do make it :) I've made it several times and to help keep from clumping: stir constantly. Wait until most of the velveeta cube you cut dissolves. We've also used this with an off-brand type velveeta and I think it tastes better ^_^
PJ says:

Found this recipe last year and have make it many times (many many many many times!!!!) We've added a few things that have helped to spice it (not all together): smoked paprika, chili seasoning for a bit of heat, garlic, and nutmeg. I've also started adding in butternut squash soup base to get a thicker broth as well as more veggies into my family's diet. It doesn't effect the flavor much but does help to thicken the soup. I've also taken out the chicken broth to make this a vegetarian soup but my hubby said its not as good as with the chicken broth (but he's a meat eater so what does he know!) And yes, I've double the recipe because I've got a huge slow cooker. Thank you so much for this great recipe!
PJ says:

This is one of our family favorites for a cold and dreary night or a pot luck party! We make a huge pot of this, using a box of chicken broth and a box of butternut squash soup. This adds to the creaminess and if you need a non meat version, just stick with the butternut squash soup. We've also added in different spices at times.... Using smoked paprika or Trader Joe's smoked south African blend (there is a recipe for it online that is very close). This gives it a nice smokey bacon flavor (my autistic son does my seasoning and this is what he came up with!)
LB says:

This soup was delicious! I made this for my husband's birthday lunch along with sub sandwiches and it was just like Panera! Thanks for the recipe
Cyd says:

Hi Heidi. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment. We are so glad you liked the soup and hope you'll be back for more recipes!! Have a great week.
KB says:

OMG! I had to go back to see if I missed a step. Nope. So watery and curdled looking. I’m not sure I can even taste test it.
Carla says:
