Broccoli Cheddar Soup image

Easy and delicious broccoli cheddar soup. Blend partially for lots of chunks or blend totally for an even consistency. Add a package of dried cheese that comes in the mac and cheese boxes for a yellow/orange color and a kicked up a notch flavor. Fresh broccoli is of course possible, make sure to cut into florets first.
