Easiest:
Get a can of Campbell's cheese soup and prepare it according to directions. Get a small bag of frozen broccoli and add as much as you think you'd like to the soup. Cook on med-low heat until broccoli is tender. Enjoy!
But WAIT!
If you want to season the soup more, add either a couple teaspoons of diced onion or half a teaspoon of onion powder, some ground pepper, maybe a bit of chipotle powder (a teeny tiny smidge of a pinch -- this stuff is hot, but it gives a spicy/smokey flavor to anything you add it to).
I happen to like carrots and celery in my broccoli soup, so you could dice or slice some carrots and celery and add as much as you'd like. Cook until all veggies are tender. Shredded carrot would cook fastest.
Top it all off by adding 1/4 cup of your favorite beer.
Oh, Boy!
I can give you a more complex version, but this is probably the easiest recipe I can come up with... Good luck!
