Resourceful Broccoli & Cheese Soup

I have 4 gallon-size Ziplocs of frozen broccoli stalks so I thought I'd try some broccoli & cheese soup.  I didn't bother with a recipe and I'm thinking that was a mistake!

Frozen broccoli stalks

Broccoli & cheese for the soup

I heated a can of cream of mushroom soup and added the cheese.

Chopped broccoli

Some ground ham

I added salt, pepper, and garlic because I add that to everything.

It looked OK, but was about the saltiest thing I've tasted in a long time.

I don't know why I added salt.  Canned soup certainly has plenty, not to mention the ground ham.  Oh well. 

I'll try from scratch next time.
