With a big batch of precooked broccoli in the fridge, you can make yourself a lightning-fast bowl of creamy, cheesy soup. Though the recipe is built to serve one, you can easily double or quadruple it to suit your needs. A pinch of cayenne pepper does wonders to enhance the cheesiness of the cheddar, so don't be tempted to leave it out.
