Steps:

- Simmer for 25 minutes or until veggies are tender.
- Cube Velveeta and put into soup pot.
- Simmer just until cheese is melted.
- This recipe freezes and refrigerates well. I make a large recipe at the beginning of the week and use it to snack on when I'm in danger of breaking my diet. I can have a large bowl and some crusty bread with it and still be under 5 points.

BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
This is a great, very flavorful soup. Good for serving at luncheons or special gatherings with a quiche. To make this soup a little fancier, add 1 cup sliced mushrooms and 1 cup white wine with the onions.

BROCCOLI POTATO CHEESE SOUP - WEIGHT WATCHERS
This is a low-fat recipe I got out of one of my moms weight watchers cookbook and I've been making it for years. The DH loves it and it's great to make on cold days and fine for big portions. SPECIAL NOTE: This soup can easily be modified. Add more ham and cheese if you'd like, or add cubed chicken or Turkey instead of ham. If you add more veggies and need more water to boil them, use 2 bouillon cubes to every cup of water you add and 2 Tablespoons of Flour to every cup of milk to thicken it up. I serve the soup with Cheddar Cheese Popovers. NOTE: If you are doing the 2012 version of WW, it has 11 points per serving as written.

Steps:
- Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a large pot. Add both heads of broccoli and carrots to the simmering stock; simmer for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Cook and stir until a golden roux forms, about 2 minutes. Slowly add milk, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil and cook until a thickened gravy forms, about 2 minutes.
- Slowly pour onion gravy into the broccoli mixture, stirring continuously. Bring to a simmer. Stir in processed cheese food. Simmer, stirring often, until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Do not let the soup come to a boil or the cheese could separate.

Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a better flavor and texture than frozen broccoli. If you must use frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its flavor and nutrients.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor, or a mild cheddar cheese for a more subtle flavor.
- Season the soup well: Be sure to season the soup with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other spices, such as paprika or cayenne pepper, to give the soup a little kick.
- Serve the soup hot: Broccoli cheese soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
Conclusion:
Broccoli cheese soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover broccoli, and it can also be made ahead of time and frozen for later. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a hearty soup to warm you up on a cold day, this broccoli cheese soup recipe is sure to please.
