Broccoli Cheddar Soup
"The original recipe called for the cheddar to be mixed into the soup. I like to prepare the soup, pour it into oven proof bowls, place in a piece of toast and float the cheddar, then just broil it for a few minutes until the cheese melts. If you want the soup to be richer and not worried about calories use cream instead of milk."
