This soup is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try making it with less cheese next time.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. It was so easy to just throw all the ingredients in and let it cook all day.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I made this soup without the cheese. It was still delicious!

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I really enjoyed this soup. The cheese and chicken help to balance out the flavor of the broccoli.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables. It's also a good source of protein and fiber.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.
