Very good base for broccoli soup. I added a lot more cheese than called for, and more broccoli florets, but we've made this several times, and love it. I will continue to make this again!

Best thing about this soup is that the broccoli is not over cooked, which gives the soup a garden fresh taste. I will also put asparagus, zucchini, and green bell pepper in the soup with the broccoli. I also use the parts of the veggies that you wouldn't normally eat. Like the stalk on the broccoli and the ends on asparagus and put those parts in the blender.

I found the broccoli soup to be a bit thin. It tasted good but I wouldn't go so far to say delicious. My children seemed to like it however we are accustom to the traditional cream of broccoli soup that is nice and thick. As per other reviewers,I also used chicken broth in place of the water and used half and half instead of milk. I also used extra broccoli and at the end I added shredded chedder to the pot. A nice twist was that I poured the soup into individual bread bowls which the kids loved.

Not the best I've had, but certainly a good recipe. I liked it better the next day - I think next time I'll prepare it a day ahead.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't very creamy, it was bland. I made one change as stated in other reviews, I substituted chicken broth for the water and bouillion. I only used whole milk and thought that would make it creamy enough but it didn't. If I happen to try this recipe again I will try it with a portion of half and half not all just whole milk.

I love this receipe. I did make 2 pounds of broccoli so I increased the water to 10 cups. I used chicken broth instead of the boullion. I also increased the flour to half of cup. I think the tip of the immersion blender was a good idea.

I was very disappointed. I read rave reviews and this was really bland. It was made salavagable by adding a lot of salt and cheese to the main soup.

I just made this soup for lunch today, and it was my first time branching out from my family's recipe and trying something different. I would definitely recommend it, it was quick and easy, and quite good. The only change I made was to leave out the onion and cheese.

My family absolutely loved this recipe! I did make some changes. I used way more than 4 cups of broccoli, I had brought 3 big bunches (almost 4 lbs.) and used all of it, also I kind of lost track of time and cooked it longer which was fine for us since we prefer our broccoli softer vs. crunchy. Cooked it in a big 6qt pot but still used 4 cups of broth. I also used vegetable broth instead of water, 1/2&1/2 instead of milk, and added a finely chopped garlic clove and 2 finely chopped carrots with the onion and celery. I had to use some of the liquid to puree the broccoli, so I thought it was going to end up too thick and I would need more liquid at the end, but it was actually an excellent creamy consistency. Thank you for such an excellent recipe and for the extra ideas in the many detailed reviews! I will be making this soup over and over and over!!!

One of my favourites in my cooking "career" so far. I used veggie broth to cook the broccoli (and added one potato at this stage) and omitted the chicken boulion. I took the suggestions of some posters are pureed all the broccoli. I threw in about a cup of cheddar at the end of cooking and garnished with extra cheddar. Excellent soup. Will definitely make it again.

Seemed to be lacking something in flavor, would give it a four after tinkering with it, but 3 as is for base recipe.

This soup was great. I thickened it a little more but the flavor was out of this world. I had expected to have left overs but it didn't last long and that was in a family of 2.
