I made two servings of this soup at my annual St. Paddy's Day party this year for my long-time vegetarian friend, as most of the dishes I serve have meat in them. It was delicious! It was difficult keeping my meat eating friends and family away from it. Everyone wanted the recipe. My only tip would be to keep the soup in the blender for as long as it takes - you definitely want the end result to be super smooth. I also made it the night before, and simply heated it in a pot before serving. Yum. Thanks Astrophe.

At first this soup tasted mostly like broccoli and a little bland, so I added 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence and it turned out awesome! A great way to get a lot of veggies!

I did everything this recipe called for except I used chicken broth and left out the zucchini (didn't have any). Looks drab but tastes great if you like veggies. Next time I'll add a dash of red pepper flakes for some kick. Great way to get in your veggies.

This is a fantastic soup, very flavorful and healthy! And I like the fact that it uses a lot of different vegetables. I used chicken stock and substituted swiss chard for the spinach. Yum! Some people may be put off by the healthy green color :)

This soup is so tasty and very healthy. I was actually surprised how flavourful it is. I did add a little chicken soup into the broth but, otherwise, followed the recipe to the 'T'.

This soup was pretty tasty and I felt good about eating something so healthy. I have to say, it isn't something that I would crave and want to make all the time though.

I used this as a base recipe and changed it beyond recognition. Recipes like this are best using home-made stock, and if you find it tastes a little weak/ vegetably, try adding a teaspoon of your favourite chili sauce. This is also great for lettuce that you aren't goping to get around to making a salad with, just put it in with the spinach. Noone will tell when it's blended! I spiced mine with cayenne pepper, oregano, tarragon, basil, chicken salt, and garlic stock.

I wish there were 6 stars to give this healthy soup! We top it with parmesan or other white cheese. Goes great with crusty bread!

I made it with home-made chicken broth and no broccoli, and I increased the amount of split peas to 1 1/4 cups as well as the amount of celery. This is a very very good soup.

A wonderful thick smooth soup, I made it as written except for cooking my onion and 3 cloves garlic in approx a teaspoon of olive olive oil first, then adding chicken stock/broth in place of veg broth. I used a food processor to chop up my veggies, so it was super easy!! While my first load of veggies and stock was cooking, processed the zucchini and broccoli and placed in a bowl with the dried basil and pepper, then processed the spinach and placed in second bowl. I used a spoonula for stirring soup as well as scraping my processor bowl. Seasoning was perfect, remember to use ripe veggies for full flavor!! This is a keeper, I'll be making more tomorrow! :)

Surprisingly delicious. I used chicken broth and I didn't puree the mixture. I thought it was very good to taste the different vegetables and it was such a rich, smooth flavor. Perfect comfort food, especially when sick. I cannot rave about this enough, my boyfriend LOVED it.

The only adjustment I do to go from 4 stars which is what you see posted to 5 stars is to add some Mrs. Dash seasoning of my choice. The exact flavor of Dash varies.

Healthy, hearty and very very filling soup! I used 1/2 of broccoli, 1/2 cauliflower, 6 cups of fresh spinach, 1 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp dried parsley, 1 tsp black pepper and 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper. I sauteed 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic and a tsp of grated ginger with 1 tbs of butter then added in the celerys, stems of broccoli and potato until tender before adding the broth. It was a tad too thick and salty after blending (but tts bcos i put in 1 tsp of salt, not knowing tt the chicken stock was rather salty!) so i added 3/4 of water and 1/2 cup milk before bringing the pureed soup to heat. This created a nice balance of flavours. The soup had a nice lightly spicy kick to it!
