Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe
This makes a “Duggar sized” batch of the soup. Mama would make this growing up and usually serve it with either saltine crackers or homemade whole wheat bread.
7 lbs. frozen broccoli
2 lbs. easy melt cheese (Velveeta or equivalent)
1 quart sweet whipping cream
enough water to cook broccoli
1 C. cornstarch with cold water to thicken after other ingredients are hot.
Cook broccoli first and drain water. Add velveeta and whipping cream and heat over medium low heat until melted (stirring frequently to prevent scorching!). Once heated, add cornstarch to thicken.
Sweet whipping cream?
Hey Melissa, I believe it’s the same, but might be called different where I’m at. What I’m referring to is labeled “heavy whipping cream” at our store and is a liquid (thicker than milk) and usually sold by the quart. Different than “whipped cream” or sweetened condensed milk.
Anyone else feel free to answer!
Sweet whipping cream and heavy cream are both types of dairy cream that have a high fat content. Both heavy cream and sweet whipping cream can be whipped and used in desserts. Heavy cream may also be used in recipes where cream is added, such as soups.
I LOVE how many recipes you post, to many boxed foods nowadays. Love homemade food. ❤️
I just made this soup and it was a big hit! Love all your recipes- thanks for sharing them and God bless you and your family!
Jill, did you mean 1 cup of cornstarch?
Hey Anick, Yes, one cup of cornstarch. 🙂
Jill, Now that it’s Cole in East Tennessee, my kids are asking for this soup. Thanks for sharing.
