    Yum! This is pretty darn close to Panera's soup, maybe not quite as rich. I only put in half the onion but next time I think I would do all of it, not too strong a flavor. I also substituted vegetable broth as I needed to serve a vegetarian guest. Otherwise made as is. Would definitely make again!

    I used a cup of fat free half and half and a cup of skim. To make it creamy, I added two cups of pureed califlower! YUM!!!!

    I think this is as close as you can get to the real deal from "that other place" : Very yummy and I will for sure make again!

    i think it's great! can't imagine what it would taste like with basil :( but with BAY LEAVES it was great! i did use basil in my salad dressing and that was a nice compliment to the soup.

    Love this recipe! My roommate and I were craving a cheddar soup but couldn't decide between broccoli or potato so we made a hybrid : We added two large potatoes, we added these the same time as the broccoli and carrot although we let it cook about an extra 20 minutes for the potatoes to soften, we also added 2 cloves of garlic, a small package of bacon, cooked it separate and crumbled it into the soup and lastly we omitted the bread bowls. the bay leaves and nutmeg really do make a difference in the soup!

    my only suggestion is if you decide to add potatoes like we did puree the mixture first and then add the potatoes so they dont make the soup have a grainy texture.

    overall great soup though!

    Very Good! I used two tablespoons of butter and little olive oil and 1 cup of cheese and 1% milk
    but still very good. Will definitely make it again.

    I thought this soup was pretty good. I didn't add the nutmeg because I didn't have any and I wonder if that would have given it the little bit of something that was missing. It was creamy and filling and overall very tasty. I just thought it was missing a little something. Very easy to make. I also didn't puree the broccoli as we like the bigger chunks.

    Very nice. I made it for the hubby's birthday (as this is a very very rich and high calorie soup that I would not make every day. We all loved it. I "leaned it up" a little bit the next time by adding only 2 tbs of butter with a little olive oil, and instead of the half and half, I used one cup fat -free half and half and one cup skim milk. Still tasted great, a little less creamy, but wonderful as an everyday soup. Definitely use bay leaves - it really helps.

    I have made this soup many many times and love it!! A little short cut for you busy cooks is to steam the broccoli and carrots before adding them to the soup base. That way you can blended it only after a few minutes!! It tastes the same to me! Always a winner!
