Notes
If you want larger chunks of broccoli don't chop it quite as fine. The more it cooks the less the chunky the soup.Can substitute low fat milk or non dairy milk and margarine if desired.I make homemade chicken broth but you can also use one chicken bouillon cube per one cup hot water.If you like a creamier soup use less chicken broth and more cheese.
