Ingredients
Scale
- 4 carrots shredded
- 12 Oz frozen broccoli package
- 8 green onions, finely chopped
- 26 Oz cream of chicken condensed soup
- 32 Oz chicken broth (1 box)
- 16 Oz Velveeta cheese (half the box)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Wash the carrots and peel them. Then using a grater finely shred the carrots and set aside in medium size bowl. On a cutting board take out the frozen broccoli and cut it up into small chunks and add to the bowl. Cut up the green onions finely chopped and add to the bowl.
- Pour the chicken broth and cream of chicken condensed soup into a stock pot. Use a whisk to blend the broth together and then bring to a boil. Cut up the Velveeta cheese in chunks and add to the soup. Turn it on to medium heat stir often till the cheese is melted and soup is heated through. Turn the heat to simmer and add your chicken breasts, broccoli, carrots and green onions to the soup. After 15 minutes, remove the chicken breasts from the soup with tongs and transfer to a plate to cool. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the chicken using a fork and knife, and add back to the broccoli cheese soup. Add the cheddar cheese and continue simmering the soup until the vegetables are tender and cheese is melted.

I’m not a big broccoli fan but put anything in cheese and I’m game. I’ve grown fond of broccoli cheddar soups over the years, but always felt there could be more. I never thought about what could be added until I saw this. The thought of chicken inside the soup is sheer genius. While I’m sure there are lots of nutrients in the soup already, the chicken is a good addition, both for taste and nutrients. I’ll have to try this before it gets too hot to cook soup (although I suppose I could put it in the crockpot).
