This soup is absolutely delicious! Full of flavor! I set aside 1 cup of steamed broccoli and added it towards the end to give the soup even more chunky flavor. Wonderful recipe that I have already recommended to a few of my "cooking friends". Thanks!

A great soup!The only cream of broccoli soup I've ever experienced is the kind you get everywhere----a white sauce with chunks of broccoli. This recipe is the real thing! Very easy to prepare; I added a bit of garlic powder and garnished with shredded cheddar, otherwise kept to the recipe. Crusty French baguettes with sweet butter are an excellent "side". I highly recommend this recipe and will definitely make it again!

This was delicious! I'm a baker at the CIA and have little to no COOKING experience (at The Culinary its one or the other) so I was psyched to see this was simple and straight forward without messing around with a roux <--I am mystified and intimidated by roux. I don't think I changed a thing. it was thick and creamy, the second day when I went to actually use it, I had to thin it with milk, it was so thick! my boyfriend made an excellent comment: it's good, but it leaves you room to mess around and add your own seasonings. DELICIOUS!! :D

Amazingly great soup!! I have tried many cream of broccoli recipes before but never totally satisfied with the outcome. I chose this recipe because I had never heard of sweating vegtables but it made sense. I highly recommend this soup. My family all loved it!

I've made this two times and am now just getting around to reviewing it. This recipe is a classic, simple preparation and it stands on these two things: 1) Using the freshest, best broccoli, onion and potato you can buy; 2) Following the preparation exactly. A slow, patient sweating process; Stick to this, and it will turn out perfectly. This is the way good food is supposed to taste - without a lot of cover up.

Excellent, easy to make soup. I used my submersion blender to blend it a little but still made it too thin. I added 2 slices of cheese and croutons to thicken it up as it was too thin. Did not add onion.

This receipe is great and very simple. But I made a few changes. I added two cloves of garlic and four times as much salt. But oh was it ever delicious.

this was SO GOOD!!!!! i added corn and bacon bits, but it was good all on its own, too. my daughter said she would like to have a few potato chunks to bit into, too. so next time, i will add a few bigger chunks of potato after i puree. this recipe was also pretty EASY! that's important!!!!!

Yummmmmm! I didn't cook the potatoes long enough so it turned out a little lumpy. And it was a little on the thin side (maybe my fault because of the potatoes) But the flavor was soooooo good! Will try again for sure!!!

Oh my goodness! I am shocked at how fantastic this soup was. I wasn’t expecting anything this good. I didn’t make a lot of changes, I substituted the 2 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp olive oil in an effort to lighten it up and I used frozen broccoli because it had been in the freezer forever and I wanted to use it up. Oh and I couldn’t resist adding 1 clove of minced garlic. This soup was one of the best I’ve ever had!

I made this recipe almost exact as stated (added garlic powder, tastefully simple season salt, dash of nutmeg and fresh black pepper)and it got nothing but rave reviews!

I followed the recipe but with some changes, such as, onion powder instead of onions because I didn't have any on hand. I also added carrot to the soup. Instead of heavy cream I used 1% milk. It's all I had. I used a potato masher to keep the soup chunky. It was a bit thin, but good any way. Great for a rainy day like today.

This is a great recipe and very adaptable too. I used 2 packages of frozen chopped broccoli, 2 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of fat free half and half. I adjusted the seasoning for my personal preference (added a little more salt, black pepper and fresh minced garlic). Turned out beautifully and I would definately make this again. Thanks for sharing!

I followed this recipe exactly but was very disappointed with the result. It was too runny and a little grainy. Don't know what I did wrong. :(

Yum! This recipe was great. I've never made broccoli soup before from scratch. This turned out fantastic! I made a triple batch because I had a large amount of broccoli given to me and didn't want to waste it. I gave some to my neighbors who also loved it.
