Get yourself a bowl and a spoon, pronto; we've branched out into the cheesy broccoli soup game and we are most delighted with these results. This meal has the cheese and the broccoli you expect, but with some added perks: succulent chicken pieces and crunchy bread augment the deliciousness, bringing bulk and texture. And this baby is calorie and carb-conscious? You might not even make it to the bowl and spoon. Never mind, we won't tell if you eat this stunner straight from the pot.
