I added fresh minced garlic with the other vegetables and I skipped the parchment paper step only because I didn't have any. I also used fat free evaporated milk because I don't usually keep whipping cream on hand. This soup tasted turned out rich and creamy--nice "cup" soup as in something to drink. Very good.

Really good base recipe. I really loved the flavor and creaminess that the cream cheese gave (I only had whipped cream cheese and it turned out just wonderful). I always use recipes as a base, so I found this to be a great base, kept the potatoes in super small chunks to add to the soup instead of blending them. I also added fresh cooked bacon and my husband put sour cream on the top of his with more bacon!

Very good. Excellent on a cold rainy day... will definitely make this again. I made it exactly as stated except I didn't have cream so used 2% milk and thickened it up with 2 Tbsp flour mixed with 2 Tbsp water.

Truly awesome. Tried several broccoli soup recipes, this is the best! Followed technique/steps to a "t" and it came out wonderful. Even won 1st place at a soup party. Had to pass out papers with the website link directly to this recipe.

This is fantastic. Substitute coconut milk for the cream and it's much healthier and tastes awesome.

Made this last night. Very good, very rich and just the thing for a cold snowy night. Husband was delighted to have hot soup when he got in from work(yes he worked Christmas Day).

This was way too bland until I added cheddar cheese to it. Not really gourment tasting.

It was good, but I made some changes. Added more potatoes, 1/2 and 1/2 and added 1 c. milk.

This was a wonderful and very flavorful soup. I used the hand 'boat motor' to blend it, off of the heat of course. I didn't change any of the ingredients and didn't add anything,either. Yummy!
