  • Sharp cheddar cheese is the classic cheese for broccoli cheese soup, but you can use other types of cheese, such as Gruyère, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack. Experiment with different cheeses to find your favorite combination.
  • Milk or cream gives the soup a smooth and creamy texture. You can use whole milk, low-fat milk, or nonfat milk, depending on your dietary preferences. If you want a richer soup, you can use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • To make the soup extra cheesy, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a tangy flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
