Velveeta is a big win in many recipes found online, on TV, and at family barbecues all summer long! Do you have a favorite Velveeta recipe? One of my favorites is a Mexican dip made with Velveeta and canned tomatoes. How can something so simple taste so delicious?
The same likely holds true for the Velveeta Cheesy Broccoli Soup recipe shared above! I love broccoli cheese soup and it’s a no-brainer that Velveeta would make this soup amazing. The trouble would be ensuring there are leftovers for lunch because I know my family would devour this. Enjoy!
oh memories velveeta used to be a special treat in our house when we were little because its so expensive.

i love velveeta, but not a huge fan of cooking with it. its too much like cooking with cheeze whiz which i hate. the only thing i like to cook with velveeta is mac and cheese, but mostly i just love to cut it into cubes and eat it out of the box lol. too expensive to buy often though.
sounds tasty. I love broccoli soup
I like the inclusion of a video in your blog post.
Am I the only one that doesn’t like the taste of processed cheese? Love broccoli cheddar soup though!
Im pretty much going to have to buy some Velveeta this afternoon, lol.
yes, I remember having Velveeta as a kid; love it and Broccolli
I have never ever had Velveeta in my almost 50 years of life, but this sounds like it would be delicious
