Iso: Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe

[AJPratt]

I am looking for a recipe for Broccoli Cheese Soup, sort of like what they serve at TGI Fridays, its very creamy with no cheese.

ETA: Sorry... Had a blonde moment. I meant "no potatoes".

 

[chefann]

If it's got no cheese, don't you mean Cream of Broccoli soup?

 

[AJPratt]

OMG!!!!! I just read what I wrote! I MEANT, "no potatoes". That's what happens when I post just before lunch. DUH! I'm glad you're paying attention.

Just had to give you a hard time, Anne.

There are a bunch on http://allrecipes.com/Search/Recipes.aspx?WithTerm=broccoli+cheese+soup

 

[AJPratt]

Thanks! I was looking for one that someone here has made.

 

[chefann]

Oh, well, fine.



Sorry, I can't help with that one. My DH won't eat soup as a meal unless it's tomato and we have grilled cheese, too. So it's not worth the bother to make a pot for just me.

My hubby won't eat soup either. He thinks that it's not a meal. I have to make a whole meal AND the soup... not worth it!

If Dave had his way, he would get soup with EVERY meal.

Just go ahead and make soup. If he whines about it, just snatch the bowl away from him and in your best Soup Nazi voice, say, "NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!"

Here you go... this is a family favorite even with the men.

Broccolli Cheese Chicken Soup

Description:
I prepared this recipe of Mother's at the cabins in TN this Thanksgiving and was asked to post it for all to use. Mother often made this to carry to "the sick" as it makes a HUGE pot of soup and can easily be frozen in smaller units and kept until someone needs it. And it beats a TV dinner any day!

Ingredients:
4 Chicken Breasts (I have used canned chicken)
3/4 C. chopped Onion
4 tsp. Margarine
6 Cups Chicken Broth
8 oz. pkg "fine" Noodles (1-2 in. spagetti size, or I have used maccaroni in a pinch)
1 tsp. Salt
2 sm. boxes Chopped Broccolli
6 Cups of Milk
1 lb. Velveeta Cheese, cubed

[Note: You will also need a very large stock pot!)

Directions:
Saute onion in margarine; add chopped (cut small) chicken, allowing the chicken to cook just long enough to turn white and a little browned; add broth. Bring to a boil. Add noodles and cook 5 minutes.
Add broccolli and cook 4 minutes.
Add salt and warm milk in which cheese has been cubed. Heat to a boil.

That's it! Easy, easy and can be frozen...


Number Of Servings:About 24-30..

Preparation Time:Less than 30 minutes

Thanks for a mouth watering recipe. I can hardly wait to try it. I have a group coming to my house for a Creative Memories workshop on Nov. 9th.
I love to make soup for Shut-ins in our parish. This will be a nice change from my usual recipes. Nice to know that it can be frozen to have ready when the opportunity knocks. I'm known as the Soup Lady.

If you are looking for a restaurant recipe...big chains such as Fridays...you can go to www.copykat.com and they will have links to recipes from those restaurants. I love that website.

Karo,
Have you ever made your recipe with rice instead of spaghetti noodes? Also, just to clarify - If I use spaghetti, do you just break the pieces up??Sorry, if these sound like silly questions.

That's funny that you mention that. One of my favorite restaurants around here (now expanding across the state) is called Zoup! (yes, with the exclamation point) They came up with the idea from the soup nazi episode of Seinfeld. mmm.... maybe I'll head there for a bowl of Chicken Pot Pie Soup for dinner.
