This turned out super awesome, I tried to incorporate several ideas that others shared. I used 2 c mild cheddar and 2 cups sharp, next time will do all 1 c mild, 3 c sharp. I added a potato. Still used the 4 c half and half but waited a little longer each time until it thickened. Def pleased with this super easy recipe!!

This is delicious. I doubled the broccoli, since my 3 year-old loves it, and it came out great!

thanks, scott!

for me the best way to make sure it doesn’t get watery is to make sure you let the half and half get super thick between each addition…it really does get quite thick, and by the time you add the cheese it’s very thick, so when the broth gets added in it’s a nice texture. I’ve never had it come out watery before. I suppose it depends on how you cook it…if you use less cheese and half and half it may take a little more time whisking…

thank you so much for your comment!

Great soup couple of suggestions though.Its a little watery for a xtra thickness follow changes.

First use 3cups of Half &Half.Instead of 4C.

4 Cups of Cheddar instead of 3C.

1 1/2 cups of reg chken Broth and 1 cup of LOW SODIUM CKN Broth.

As for broccli, leave a little stem it cooks down nicely and adds a some Bite.Follow all other step the same.
P.S. Make sure your pots are BIG enough, its a pretty big yeild.

I never think about the amount of fat in delicious food, it would ruin the moment.
