Simple Broccoli Cheese Soup
Sometimes when I watch my child bounce around the house from the moment he wakes up to the second he goes to bed, I envision I could syphon just a little bit of energy from him.
You know, enough to give me a little motivation & make me feel no so zombie-ish – and enough to calm Mr. Wild Child Ball-of-Energy down just a smidgen.
But alas – there is no such thing as that because if there was, the sale of energy drinks & supplements wouldn’t be the multi-billion dollar industry that it is today.
This recipe is designed to keep all zombie adults out of the drive-thru because even if you’re dragging your feet with exhaustion, you can still easily pull off this simple broccoli cheese soup.
I actually got the recipe for this soup from the cashier at HomeGoods – she wrote it on the back of my receipt for me, & I just had to try it.
I’m not going to lie and tell you that it’s the best broccoli cheese soup ever, because it’s not (but I will be sharing that recipe soon!) – but it IS good! It’s perfect for those drag-your-zombie-feet nights!

How do I prepare this Broccoli Cheddar Soup recipe?
- First thing is to cook your broccoli. I buy the 12oz packages of the fresh broccoli florets that steams in it’s own back in the microwave. I like a lot of broccoli in mine, but you can use less if you’d like.
- Mix together the family size can of cream of chicken soup with 1 cup of milk in a saucepan, & heat til hot.
- Add in the cooked broccoli. You can add a little more milk if you’d like a thinner consistency.
Now, stir in 2 cups of cheddar cheese.
Heat the mixture until hot, season with a little pepper if need be, & serve.
Wasn’t that easy??

You saved lunch! My kids love broccoli soup, which I usually make (wince) from a packet. I discovered I was out of packets and needed a quick solution; this was it! They loved it, and I’ll never buy the packet again!
Awesome! I’m going to have to surprise my husband with this. Broccoli and Cheese soup is his favorite! Thanks so much 🙂
I am sick today and wanted broccoli and cheese soup but didn’t want it to be a hassle! Finally found this recipe, sounds delicious and I am giving it a try now, thanks in advance🙂
I’m pregnant and really craving some good broccoli and cheese soup, I love this because it’s so easy I’m going to try it tonight!
made it-ate it! very good.
Made it and it was yummy!
If I use skim milk will it just not be as creamy?
Yes. I did and it came out great.
Can I use cream of mushroom or some other vegetable based soup?
I made it with cream of mushroom soup and it was delicious. I also substituted it another time with veggie broth and it was just as yummy.
Can this soup be frozen?
I’m really happy to have found this version! I’m also going to include this in my daughter’s 1st apartment cookbook!
The broccoli cheese soup is such a quick fix for my afternoon hunger. I tried making it at home following your recipe and it turned out to be really good. Thank you, Crystal!
Great simple recipe. I added Pepper and a dusting of cayenne
Needed this for home and camping
Thank You
I came across this recipe looking for something quick that wouldn’t require me to go to the store. I didn’t have exactly what it calls for but I went with it and it was still delicious!
I made it with a normal sized can of cream of mushroom and added extra milk (we use whole milk) to compensate for the volume difference and I ended up adding about 2.5 cups of cheese bc I had extra cheese. Amazing!
We love broccoli and cheese soup. After cooking the broccoli I throw it in the blender before putting it all together.
Love this recipe! It is one my whole family loves! I also add shredded chicken into mine and sometimes serve it over rice.
I just finished making this, it is SO good. I opted to go with Campbell’s Cheddar Cheese instead of the cream of chicken. I also added onion powder, and a little garlic powder and salt. Sooo delicious! My kids are asking for seconds.
I am sooooooo trying this today 😋
Quick question though will cream of mushroom still taste good?
I used cream of mushroom and some butter oh soooooo good 😋😋👍👍
So easy to make and is good. I used cream of broccoli soup and Velveeta. It was ready in no time flat.
I made this today for my husband
I added 2 sticks of butter and about 1/2 heavy whipping cream-it was fantastic!
This goes into regular rotation because it’s so EASY to make!
Very simple and easy recipe. I had cream of mushroom in the pantry and just used that. I swear it turned out soo good. Can’t believe I can enjoy this soup through in large quantity without spending ~$5/cup in restaurants. This is a dream come true
Excellent! We loved this soup! I used all ingredients bought at Aldi. Frozen steamer broccoli, Campbell’s cream of chicken soup, 1% milk(not bought at Aldi), and mild cheddar cheese. I probably added about half of a 10oz can of water and about that much more milk just as the recipe suggested to thin it out. It made 4 large bowls of soup. I’ll definitely be making this again. I actually thought it tasted similar to Panera’s broccoli cheese soup which is so yummy! My husband thought it was great too. I have seen and tried recipes that called for using cream of mushroom soup but the taste wasn’t right.
So easy and quick. Plus my toddlers loved it so WIN 🤩
