Turn on a burner to medium low, grab your favorite soup pot - preferably a heavy cast iron one with a thick bottom. Open two beers and pour one of them into the pot, put it on the burner. Start drinking the other one. When the beer is heated, add the condensed soup and stir until blended. Add a few cubes of cheese and let it melt while you chop the broccoli. stir the soup, see if the cheese is melty yet. When it is, add some more cubes (I usually add 2-4 in inch cubes of each cheese at a time). When you get close the last of you cheese, pull out another small pan and a veggies steamer, put about an inch of water into the pan and turn another burner on medium or medium high, put that pan on there and wait until it boils. Add the last of your cheese to the soup, stir it and put the chopped broccoli in the steamer. Tell your partner that dinner is almost ready, and sit down with your second beer while your partner takes care of the broccoli since his picky ass always complaines about the texture of your broccoli. Tell him to bring you another beer when you're close to the end of that one, you're really enjoying the book you're reading and prefer not to be interrupted with trivialities like finding the bottle opener while you're tipsy. When he brings you the beer ask him to serve the kids and you. You like your bread sliced at an angle, thanks and the soup should be spooned over the steamed boccoli. And another beer too please. Thanks!
