CREAM OF BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
"When my husband and I visit fresh-food stands, we often come home with more vegetables than we can eat," Marge Hill shares from Glenside, Pennsylvania. "I lightened up this tarragon-flavored soup to use up the broccoli we buy. I like it with crusty bread, a salad or a sandwich."

POTATO SOUP WITH CREAM CHEESE
This is a family favorite throughout the fall and winter! It's easy to prep and great for a lazy day, filling the house with aroma. Have extended family and guests? Simply double the quantity of each item. It's that easy! I derived the potato soup with cream cheese base compliments of Panera Bread®. I added a few extras over time to appeal to the whole family. This a well balanced, full-flavored soup, with a hint of trailing heat compliments of cayenne. If you have picky "little" ones you can substitute red pepper flakes as a side garnishment. Serve with sharp shredded cheese and a loaf a fresh beer bread!

CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN SOUP
After tasting a similar soup in a restaurant, I went home and cooked up my own version. It's so soothing on a winter evening served with crusty French bread. For a change of pace, try substituting ham or turkey for the chicken. -Kathleen Rappleye, Mesa, Arizona

Steps:
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook the onions in the margarine until soft.
- Stir in the flour and cook (but do not brown) for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Whisk in the milk, reduce heat and stir occasionally.
- Meanwhile, chop the broccoli florets into small pieces, place in a small saucepan with the broth (or water) and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until tender (about 6-8 minutes).
- As the milk mixture thickens, stir in the slices of American cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- When the broccoli is tender, add it (including the cooking liquid) to the thickened cheese mixture. Stir well to combine and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and creamy milk will make all the difference in the taste of your soup.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many vegetables to the pot, they will not cook evenly. Add them in batches if necessary.
- Cook the vegetables until they are tender: This will help to bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give your soup a rich and flavorful taste.
- Don't boil the soup: Bring it to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Boiling will toughen the vegetables and make the soup less creamy.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little extra kick.
- Garnish the soup before serving: A sprinkling of fresh herbs, grated cheese, or croutons will add a finishing touch to your soup.
Conclusion:
Cream of cheese soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, so it is a great option for busy weeknights. With a few simple tips, you can make a cream of cheese soup that is sure to impress your family and friends.
