Simple Cream of Broccoli Soup
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

worked very well -- deleted onion (allergic), exchanged chicken/rice soup (two 15oz cans + 1.75 cups water) for chicken... stock, garlic for nutmeg, and added maybe another cup of broccoli. very thick, very tasty, and not so bad in prep. messiest was chopping broccoli, though i suppose i could have gone without doing that (blend each portion about 3-5 seconds worked well)... thanks for the idea!Read more

I made this soup on the thick side and put shredded cheddar in the center when I served it.

Should've read the suggestions in the other reviews first.

It's not that the soup was bad, but it came out very thin and since I don't really like pureed broth as soup, I added an... entire bag of chopped, frozen broccoli after I pureed everything. Read more

Simply the Best... Cream of Broccoli Soup!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I added some instant mashed potato flakes to thicken this up. I also used way more broccoli -- 2 regular size bages of... frozen, and about a Cup of cream. Garlic powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to season. Hubby loves it!! Read more
