Broccoli Soup Recipe if Learning How to Make Broccoli Soup Could be a Chicken Soup Recipe

My favorite broccoli soup recipe has cheese in it which makes it delicious. Most broccoli soups have a cream base and many with cheese added. This is what makes them so delicious! Other ingredients can also be added to these soups such as many other vegetables like carrots, onions and celery. Sometimes even meat is added like chicken pieces which makes it an even heartier soup.
