Recipe Notes
You could sub out the Chicken Borth for Vegetable Stock to make this Vegetarian.
This is terrific served in a bread bowl, warm dinner rolls, or with a loaf of crusty bread or french bread. My kids even like it with saltines and real cheddar cheese on top.
I recommend fresh broccoli florets for best results, but in a pinch, frozen broccoli would also work.
