Very quick and easy and tasted great! Changes---used American cheese instead of cheddar and added a couple small potatoes and then mashed the veggies some after they cooked in the broth.

This was delish! Just pureed at the end - came out creamy, thick and very tasty.

i liked that this recipe didnt call for butter or processed cheese (velveta/american) which is why i made it. i added some parsley and diced celery in addition to the onion & cooked it with the flour and a little chicken broth first (about a 1/4 cup). then i added the rest of the liquid ingredients, brought them to a boil, then added the broccoli last and cooked it for a only a few minutes because im not a fan of over-cooked broccoli, i like it soft but still crisp at the same time. i also added the cheese to our bowls, rather than the pot of soup itself... my husband and i both enjoyed this, it was a great way to use up some of the fresh broccoli we had.

I thought this was a nice change from the real cheesy broccoli soup. I sauteed the garlic and onions - thats about all I changed - its very good - I'll use it from now on - you can taste the broccoli - not just cheese.

i liked this recipe because it was easy, but i made a few changes (many recommended by other people as well.) i sauteed the onion in olive oil first, added garlic, cooked the broccoli for longer, added more broccoli than the recipe called for, and mixed it all in the blender before adding the milk and flour. the cheese is a must! overall, a good base recipe for an easy, tasty soup.

I made this soup this evening and Boy was it Delicious. I was searching for a recipe that did NOT include Velveeta (not a fan) My 5 year old had 2 big bowls and My 1 year old ate a whole bowl himself. I had so much Broccoli I ended up making a triple batch and sending some to my parents house they just called with rave reviews. I shared this recipe on my facebook

This recipe is awesome!! Very easy to make, only changed a couple of things. Instead of milk I used Heavy Cream. after the brocoli gets soft I used a Masher to breakdown the brocoli into smaller pieces. Made it for a dinner party so I had to make it ahead of time. I made it in my rice cooker and let it simmer til I was ready to serve... Was a hit with everyone. Definitely will make this recipe again.

We love it. I used left over broccoli that I had in the freezer. I did saute the onion and a garlic clove in a little butter. Then I pureed the onion, garlic, and broccoli. Salt and pepper (love that pepper) are a must. Didn't have cheddar so the Italian in me said "Parmesan". Try it you'll like it.

very good soup. my family loved it. It was quite lovley,however I did double the amout of broccoli and i found it worked much better. The soup was otherwise very filling and homey and my kids loved it. Four stars for a good recipe. also for anyone trying this recipe this soup loves pepper so don't be afraid to add some extra.

Very good. I added one diced stalk of celery and one diced carrot. Also added somme thyme and garlic power. Pureed some of the soup it the end- so it was part smooth and part chunky. Add the cheese...that shouldn't be optional.

This is an excellent soup, however, I did make a change or two. First, I used 3 cups of chicken broth and added 1/2 cup of cream to the 1 cup of milk. I needed to add 6 Tbsp of flour to get the right thickness for the soup. I also minced, very finely, the onion and the broccoli stems in a food processor and left the heads whole. The oregano was a perfect pairing to the soup, it really brought out the flavors well.

This soup was just ok. I used 3/4c skim milk and 1/4c fat free h&h. I also used reduced fat cheddar. Maybe it had something to do with the changes I made, but this soup was just a little bland for me.

This was recipe was a good base however I did not like the oregano. The oregano over powered the soup. I will try making this again but without the oregano. Also, I pureed the ingredients to make it smoother and not chunky.

This is fabulous!!! Very easy to make, a great way to get rid off excess broccoli. I love how the oregano and broccoli taste together. I actually used, 1% milk and 2% cheese to lower the fat and calorie content and it still maintained its thickness and is still very tasty. I'm a very picky eater so that's sayin' a lot!

This was really lovely - I was surprised, actually! My 2 year old, who turns his nose up at every green vegetable put in front of him, scoffed the lot! I have to say, I agree with whoever said there should be more broccoli. I added about 300g and it still had a really gentle flavour. I prefered the soup before the cheese, but it was still lovely against the sharpness of the cheddar. I blended it, as recommended by other reviews, and don't think I'll have it any other way now! Quick, simple, and tasty!
