Broccoli Cheese Soup

My very talented friend (I was about to say baking friend but realized this wasn't a baking recipe, then was going to say baking/cooking friend, then realized she is also really talented in so many other areas but I couldn't really say baking/cooking/teaching/crafting/home improvement/diy/decorating/everything talented friend, so I shortened it to very talented friend) recreated this recipe for her son from his favorite Panera soup.  I was tricked into going to Costco and had accidentally bought a gigantic bag of broccoli (long story) so decided to put it to use in this recipe.  I fudged a little on types of cheeses and spices because of what I had on hand.  I tasted it.  I did not share it with anyone.  Not out of selfishness of course.  It is just that I was recovering from a cold at the time at is was just so warm and comforting and delicious.  I seriously ate it for breakfast one morning because it was the only thing that sounded good.  Next time I make it I might not share it either.  Not out of selfishness of course.  I'll have to come up with another good reason.

I double or triple it, and adding cooked quinoa is an easy way to make it heartier.
