🛒 Ingredients

  • 10 to 12 oz fresh broccoli, cooked (microwavable steam-in-bag florets work great)

  • 1 (22.6 oz) family-sized can of cream of chicken soup

  • 1 cup milk (or more to reach your desired consistency)

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese


🔪 Instructions

  1. Cook the broccoli according to package directions. If using microwave steam-in-bag broccoli, it’s ready in minutes. Chop larger florets if needed.

  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream of chicken soup and 1 cup of milk. Stir and heat over medium heat until warm.

  3. Stir in the cooked broccoli. If you prefer a thinner soup, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired texture.

  4. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, and stir until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is hot throughout.

  5. Season with a little black pepper, if desired. Serve hot!


🧀 Pro Tips

  • Use extra sharp cheddar for more bold, cheesy flavor.

  • Stir in a dash of garlic powder or onion powder if you want to level it up a bit.

  • For a heartier twist, add cooked rice, shredded rotisserie chicken, or a spoonful of sour cream.


🍞 Perfect Pairings

This cozy bowl of soup is even better with:

  • Crusty bread or garlic toast

  • A side salad with vinaigrette

  • Crackers for dunking
