    This really hit the spot. I have lots left and it won't be wasted as the temperature is going down tonight for the next few days. I could eat this all the time. (NOTE: The only item subbed was the chicken broth; I used vegetable.) - 3/6/19

    What a great way to use up some extra broccoli. I didn't have any Velveeta, so I used sharp cheddar instead. Next time I'll get the Velveeta because the cheddar didn't melt and meld completely. Regardless, this is a delicious way to enjoy the world's most hated veggie. - 4/7/21
