This soup was delicious! I used frozen broccoli florets which made it a lot quicker to make. I used 2 cups of heavy cream because I didn't have any milk. Next time I will use a little bit more flour for thickening. This came out great and everyone liked it.

The main problem with this recipe is it doesn't tell you what to do with the broccoli! You cook it at the beginning, then it's never mentioned again in the directions. So I had to improvise. I used about 4 cups frozen broccoli florets and cooked them in the microwave. I then put about half in the food processor and minced them. I then dumped all the broccoli (florets and minced) in the pot at the end right before adding the cheese. Who knows if this is what the recipe writer intended, but my husband and I enjoyed it! It would probably also be good if you just pureed all the stuff together, though I liked the full florets. The only change I would make is to omit the celery. It doesn't add anything, and its flavor sticks out too much among all the other mellow blended flavors of the soup.
