Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Soup image

Add 2 cups of cooked rice for an even hardier soup. You can also substitute real broth for the water and bullion. I've done it both ways and can't really tell the difference, so I use low-sodium boullion cubes with great results. Great on a cool fall day. So yummy!
