Sheila's Broccoli Cheddar Soup image

This was one of the first recipes I learned as a brand new cook. It is simple, easy and the family loved it. My kids loved coming home from school and having this soup waiting for them on a cold winter day. I am still making it 30 years later! This recipe doubles great! Fresh broccoli has less of a strong taste than frozen...
