I thought it was lovely...not sure why the lower raters expected a "creamy" soup...this is NOT cream of broccoli soup, it does NOT deserve low ratings! This recipe is easy and tasty, a pleasure to both make & eat!

    I really love this soup. I thought I would be disappointed since it was not as creamy as I wanted, but the nutmeg flavor was awesome, and the addition of slightly moire velveeta helped make it thincker. I will certainly make this again.

    My husband usuaully detests broccoli, so it is really saying something that he actually ate this WONDERFUL soup. The flavor is just wonderful - rich, smooth, and not heavy. I used Velveeta (about half of a 1 pound block) and it came out delicious. I used all of the optional garnishes, which made this look lovely too.

    Delicious-Delicious-Delicious. I didn't have veg. stock so I used chicken broth. Before adding the cheese I pureed half of the mixture in the blender because the soup would have been too chunky. I also had to use a few spoonfuls of cornstarch to thicken it up. Next time I would only use 1/2 cup of sour cream. It was outstanding. It also worked well with a 20 oz. bag of frozen broccoli.
