I doubled the recipe using 8 cups of chicken stock. It was entirely too thin. I read reviews and used about 4 T of cornstarch mixed with equal amounts of cold water and then added to the soup as thickener. This addition helped, but I will definitely scale back the broth and increase the cream next time. I always love sherry in my broccoli soup, so I did add that at the end. Love the idea of adding nutmeg, too! I over blended with my immersion blender too, so lesson learned. Five stars for taste and ease but four stars for too much liquid.
