Broccoli Cheese Soup

Hello Everyone. If this is not to the normal standard, don't blame Lee. I (Becky) have the privilege of writing today's post. On today's menu is Soup and Bread and the featured soup of the day is Broccoli Cheese Soup. This is one of my favorites. The recipe I am posting I came across in the Family Dinner Cookbook by Debbie G. Harmon and it is fast becoming on of my favorite cookbooks. This is what I am making for dinner tonight. It would also be really great served with fresh, homemade bread sticks or for those of us who don't have that much time some bake and serve bread sticks. Enjoy!
