Broccoli Cheese (Swiss) Soup - Rachael Ray image

Please note: This recipe calls for 10 oz small yellow-fleshed potatoes (like Yukon Gold or similar). FYI, this is approx. 2 small potatoes. (It was difficult to write this out in the recipe, so i just decided to note it here.) This is a nice, filling soup that is easy to make. When I made this, I subbed about half the water with leftover chicken broth. However, I'm sure it tastes just as good (w/out the broth). This is part of a "two-for" recipe, which originally included a recipe for Ham-and-Swiss Toasts (for serving alongside) for a complete meal idea. I have posted the Ham and Swiss Toasts separately.

This soup was delicious! I love the combination of broccoli and cheese, and the Swiss cheese added a nice touch. I also liked the addition of crispy croutons. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think it needed more seasoning, and I would have liked to see more broccoli in it. I probably won't make this soup again.

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used sharp cheddar cheese and Gruyère cheese, and I think that really made a difference in the taste. I also added a little bit of cayenne pepper for a bit of a kick. Overall, I really enjoyed this sou
