Steps:
- In a large pot, let butter melt on medium high until foamy. Add onion and let brown and soften, about 6 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add garlic and shallot and cook until just fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add in broccoli and toss, let cook until bright green and shiny - slightly soft - about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in stock and velveeta and bring to a rapid boil. Reduce heat to simmer 10 minutes. Turn heat off and stir in heavy cream and parmesan, whisking as you add into the soup. Return to medium heat and let simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pre-cooked boiled chicken to the soup and stir to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy!

That's why she often serves Cheesy Broccoli Soup. "This creamy and flavorful soup goes together in a flash because it uses frozen chopped broccoli and process American cheese," she explains. Plus, it's easy to warm up if Bob works late. "He likes it so much that when he grocery shops, he always makes sure the ingredients for this soup are on the list," she reports.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, broccoli, bell peppers, cheddar cheese, green onions, and Campbell's® Cream of Chicken Soup. Mix well.
- Place a baking sheet-size sheet of parchment paper on a large cutting board. Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange next to one another so the long sides are touching. Press the seams together to make one large sheet of dough.
- Spoon the chicken cheese filling in a horizontal mound across the center of the crescent roll dough, leaving 4-5 inches of space above and below the filling.
- Starting from the bottom left of the dough sheet, slice a strip of dough diagonally at a 45-degree angle from the filling to the edge. Repeat every 2 inches along the bottom. Repeat with the top dough, cutting in the opposite direction from the bottom.
- Starting from the left side, fold the first dough strip on the bottom over the filling, then fold over the first dough strip on the top, crossing over the bottom strip. Repeat with the remaining strips to create a braid effect. Pinch the dough together on the left and right sides to seal in the filling.
- Use the parchment to carefully transfer the braid onto a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and rosemary. Brush the egg wash evenly over the braid.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the braid is cooked through and deep golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife and serving.
- Enjoy!

CHEESY CHICKEN BROCCOLI SOUP
Add 2 cups of cooked rice for an even hardier soup. You can also substitute real broth for the water and bullion. I've done it both ways and can't really tell the difference, so I use low-sodium boullion cubes with great results. Great on a cool fall day. So yummy!

VERY CHEESY CHICKEN BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
I loved this recipe, it was so good. I did use fresh broccoli and steamed it until crispy soft. I didn't use as many potatoes, about 1 1/2 cups, I used about 1/2 cup carrots and added sliced mushrooms & chopped cooked chicken. I don't usually use/like recipes with canned soup or Velveeta BUT this was great. I gave some to my neighbor who only makes homemade scratch soups (as well as I) and she just loved it. I don't remember where I found this recipe but when I did it sounded so good that I printed it out. So glad I did. LOL

Steps:
- Dice the potatoes, chop carrots and onion into small pieces. Dice the Velveeta into small cubes and store in the fridge.
- Pour 4 cups of water and 1-2 chicken bouillon cubes into a large pot, bring to a boil. Add potatoes, carrots & onions. After about 10+ minutes (original recipe said about 5 minutes, but the broccoli disintegrates if you put it in too soon) add the box/bag of broccoli.
- Cook about 15 minutes or until the veggies are done.
- Add the cream of chicken soup and one soup can of milk.
- Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes.
- Slowly add the Velveeta cubes while stirring.
- Cook, stirring often, until all cheese is melted (try not to scrape the bottom of the pan with your spoon as the bottom sometimes has a layer of browned soup, if you scrape it off you will get chewy brown bits in your soup!) Note: This is when I like to add my cooked chicken, mushroom and steamed broccoli.
- Serve with Italian bread for dipping. This soup is so thick and rich, you really don't need any side dishes, but I usually serve it with a salad.
- Leftover soup can be frozen or refrigerated.
- ENJOY!

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor. A sharp cheddar will give the soup a more intense cheesy flavor, while a mild cheddar will give it a more subtle flavor.
- Use fresh broccoli for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh broccoli, you can use frozen broccoli, but be sure to thaw it before adding it to the soup.
- Don't overcook the broccoli. It should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch to it.
- If you want a thicker soup, you can add more cheese or cornstarch. To add more cheese, simply stir in an extra 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. To add cornstarch, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth, then stir it into the soup.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
Conclusion:
This very cheesy chicken broccoli cheddar soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold night. It's loaded with flavor and is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try!
