TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
We love cheese so we used 12 ounces. I used one 12 ounce pack of Velveeta slices. This melted very easily. Also the girls were able to contribute
by helping unwrap the slices!
Keep stirring as cheese is melting to avoid it settling on the bottom of the pot.
If your child is not a fan of broccoli, add less, chop in food chopper.
You could use a package of frozen chopped broccoli and just boil in the chicken broth about 10 minutes.
