    Hi Corey!
    I was wondering if you have to blend it at all? Will the consistency be too thin if I don’t? I just love big broccoli florets. Also, could I use fresh broccoli?
    Thanks!

    1. No, you don’t have to blend it all. I only blended about 1/2 because we like chunks of broccoli 🙂 Yes, fresh broccoli would work great!

  4. What size can of evap milk? Making it now!! Smells yummy!!

    1. 12oz Sorry I didn’t include that 🙂 Will do so now!

  5. Can this be cooked on MED or HIGH heat?

  6. 5 stars

  7. Will it be ok if it cooks on low for 8 hours? I want to put it on before work!!!

    I made this tonight for a group of 15 people. It turned out great! I didn’t do the last step-blending because I like the broccoli chunks. I added ab a 1/4 cup of extra broth because I just had it in the refrigerator and needed to get rid of it. Will definitely make this again.

    1. WOW! That’s a big group 🙂 I am so glad you all liked it! XO

  9. This tasted great & was so simple to make! Thanks for a great recipe!

    I made this today and just had my first bowl! YUM!

    Used fresh broccoli. Made the cheese sauce in a pot on the stove, then stirred into the broth (already hit with the immersion blender).
