This was the first recipe that I did not like from The Pioneer Woman. I was skeptical about using only milk and half and half as a soup base, and I was right. The whole thing was way too heavy for my taste. I felt like I should have used chicken broth to help make it more of a soup as oppose to a sauce. My husband actually enjoyed the meal, but my child kept spitting it out. I would recommend maybe using chicken broth like everyone suggested.

Easy, healthier than others and delicious. My daughter loved this soup. I also used chicken broth for the liquid. I've had better but without a doubt, those soups had a considerably higher fat content. This one is worth making so you can eat it with less guilt

My Daughter loves broccoli soup when I made this the first time I decided after reading the reviews that I would use chicken broth as the liquid and it turned out amazing. I made it for lunch and for her one day my husbands not big on soups but he had requested this soup more than once so its a keeper in my houes

Wonderful soup! I watched Ree make it on her show. I changed it a bit because I did not want my milk to curd. I cooked the onions with the butter and added the flour. I then added a 2 cups of chicken broth and cooked the broccoli, after about 10 minutes I proceeded with the rest of the recipe. Great flavor! Loved it!

i'm giving it 5 stars but I did these simple variations (without trying it the way it was written:

1. roast broccoli first; olive oil, salt and pepper - 400 about 20-25 mins
2. brown cubed ham in butter

After reading the review about milk getting curdled, I thought it would be better to cook broccoli first so you are just warming the milk and cream. This soup was one of the most delicious dishes I've ever had. Thanks Ree for another AMAZING recipe.

So easy & so good! I steamed the broccoli and then put it in the milk mixture. I like some chunks of broccoli...I also used 2% milk. It was delicious!

This turned out too thick for us and I was a little concerned about using an entire stick of butter! The addition of the ham (from the show was genius and I would highly recommend making it a part of the online recipe. The flavor was great, so I'll work on it for next time.

I made this for dinner tonight, because my family loves broccoli soup. I read some of the other reviews and decided to follow the recipe exactly before making any changes. Unfortunatly I should have taken others advice and used chicken broth in place of some of the milk. I didn't have the heat very high, yet my milk scorched a little.....I will make this soup again, just w/ some changes.

Very tasty - used a blend of medium and sharp cheddar with a bit of aged provolone. My broccoli crowns were pretty big so there may have been some extra green; I used the potato masher method to break up the big clumps which varied the texture which I enjoyed - sometimes with rich cream soups the intensity can get tiring so a big bite of broccoli now and then helps keep it lively. Reheats surprisingly well in the microwave!
