This was alright. It was quick and easy, but not out of this world.

This recipe was awesome. It took no time to make, and I have an 8 month old on my heels at all times. I followed the recipe to a tee, except I added about 4oz. of 2% Cheddar Cheese before I added in the puree & chopped broccoli. It wasn't to cheesy. I will definitely be making this one again.

Just made the soup and it was a breeze. I checked out the other recipes and chose this because of the simplicity and the garlic. That's the key to this soup. I put a little extra in as well as a little more broccoli hoping to make it a little thicker. It's not a thick soup but it is very tasty. This will be a regular for me.

Yay! I made this soup in no time flat! Needs lots o salt to (my)taste. It's like a fool proof recipe-hey I made it AND it came out perty good. Will definitely make again and again. I had some heavy cream in the fridge and I figured I'd use it before it went bad so i added that -1/2 cup and 1cup-ish 2% milk, I didn't wanna use too much flour so I added cornstarch as a thickening agent as well(1tspn starch & 1 tspn cold water in small container- then to hot soup). This was low cost too which adds to it's appeal. Next time I will take another reviewers tip and make a nice lil meal out of this by adding shredder or diced chicken. yum-o!

Wife loved it, I thought it was 'pretty good.' Fairly easy to make once you get the consistency right... Kinda lacked flavor... but a quick glance at the ingredient list could have tipped me off to that. I added some cheese in my bowl and it helped. Next time, probably just make broccoli cheese soup.

After reading some of the other reviews/suggestions, here is my take. Basic soup was good, but I added more chopped garlic and roasted garlic seasoning to the broccoli. I noticed the flour/butter mixture did tend to clump a little, but I solved that by tossing it back in the blender with a drop or two of chicken stock and smoothing it down (and yes, being from south Louisiana, I do know how to make a roux!). Also, I used whole wheat flour just cause I like the extra "goose" of flavor and texture it gives a roux - one of my cooking tricks that I usually don't reveal :-). Finally, to add a little more body to the soup, I sauteed a handful of chopped mushrooms in butter, roasted garlic seasoning and another splash of chicken stock. After adding the sauteed mushrooms to the soup, I cooked it about 10 minutes more over a low heat and served that puppy up. The shrooms thickened it up just right, and I suspect it'll taste even better tomorrow after the flavors blend a little more. Bon appetit, y'all!

This was really good. Pretty easy and very rich and creamy considering it was made with skim milk.

I really wanted to like this soup, but it was too thin. I am used to a thicker cream of broccoli in restaraunts and was hoping this was something close. There was not much flavor either, even after I added double the margarine/butter. I did learn that making this soup was not that hard, so not a complete loss.

A bit involved with respect to preparation, but *very* tasty and smooth. The chunks of broccoli give this dish some texture, while the pureed broccoli provides great flavour. This receipe is now in our regular rotation!

I never follow recipes as reads, so I used homemade ham stock, not chicken broth, & added a few handfulls of chuncked ham...mmmm good!! And, true to form for us, in goes chopped onions. Gotta have 'em! Don't be afraid to try new things, see what you have in your pantry & you will be suprised.

I love this soup! The best part is that because it's so low-cal, you can add different things to it to spice it up. I added a pound of boiled, shredded chicken to give me some protein one time. Another time I added Velveeta Light to make it a cheesey, creamy low-cal dinner. Amazing!!

This recipe turned out great, I added a few more cloves of garlic than called for and seasoned well with salt and pepper. I also boiled a couple chicken breasts, sprinkled with salt & pepper, chopped it up in the food processor, and added it to the finished product. It thickened up the soup nicely because I used a whole can of chicken soup in the recipe (didn't want to waste any), and it gave it a nice added flavor.

Tried this as my husband returned home to recuperate from surgery and he raved about it. Cannot wait to go out and buy some more brocolli!

Very delicous I might try adding flour after poring chicken broth in becuase browining the flur with the butter in the beginning caused it to clump! Other than the few clumps it was great!

This soup was good, but not terrific. It was missing something. Next time, I would add cheese and maybe some sauted onion and red bell pepper. Just to add some flavor.
