My friend, Lori, made this for us up at our Girls Weekend in Winter Park. We all take turns making meals, and this was simply delicious. I made it tonight for the family, and it was just as delicious as I remembered it! Thanks Lori!

4 1/2 cups chicken broth

3 cups fresh broccoli
3/4 lb. Velveeta, cut into small cubes
