I liked this. I used leftover cooked rice and a few other random leftover veggies (onions, carrots, cauliflower)since I didn't have enough broccoli. Worked well. I just added the rice towards the end. You definitely need to add more broth and add spices if you don't want it to be too bland. I like that it doesn't call for velveeta or heavy cream. Blending the rice gave it a creamy consistency almost as if I added milk. I thought that was different. I will probably make it with leftover veggies and rice again to help clean out the fridge.

Amazing soup and very easy to make! I am preparing this soup for a second time in less than two weeks! Tonight I doubled the recipe, adding only some yellow onion and I will use fresh Parmesan instead of cheddar just for fun. Thank you for this delicious soup!

I used brown rice in this, so I simmered for 30 minutes, which is what my brown rice directions stated. Pureeing this makes it really thick, so add more broth if you aren't a fan of thick soups. I like thick soups, though, so it worked pretty well for me. I jazzed it up a little to make it less bland: I used more garlic than called for, added some onion powder, seasoned salt, and a dash of hot sauce. When I topped with the cheese I also topped with snipped chives. Very good! I made it just for myself (bf wasn't hungry at the time) but he took a bite and decided he wanted some. This really doesn't make a huge amount, but that's just fine for me since it's just the two of us. Thanks for the recipe!

I added half an avocado to the blender stage for texture and used jasmine rice because that's what I had...it was delicious!

We loved this meal! I added some onions, like some of the other people. It didn't make very much though, my husband and I ate the whole thing in one sitting. It could be doubled for guests. :) Yum!

I used too much broccoli in this one. Bland, mushy and separated!

this was quick to make and turned out pretty yummy.i pretty much followed the recipe exactly except i added about 3 tbsp of parmesan cheese. the soup ended up being a little too thick so i added about a cup of milk while it was still in the food processor. i also set aside about 1/2 a cup of the cooked broccoli to add to stir in before serving.

I was looking for a simple soup as I wasn't feeling well. 1st time I made it with brown rice & veggie stock. 2nd time w/ jasmine rice & chix stock & 1 medium onion as I was out of garlic. I make the rice (1/2-1cup uncooked) 1st in a rice cooker & use a 16oz bag of frozen broccoli. I use about 1 box of stock for the soup as I puree it. Can use more stock if you want for cooking the rice separately.
