Oh, YUM!!! This soup is awesome!! I made it twice in one week. I didn't have any half-and-half, so I used 2 cans of fat free evaporated milk~~and it was great!! I can only imagine how decadent it is with the half and half. Thanks so much for sharing~~we LOVEd this! :O) UPDATE: We have recently made some big diet changes in our lives, and dropped most dairy. I just made this with some substitutions to make it vegan, and it worked perfectly! Follow steps 1-3, then blend 2 cups of hot water with 1/2 cup raw cashews, 2 tbls. cornstarch, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Put all back in pan and stir while bringing to a boil. Should be nice, thick, and creamy! Just as yummy as my other times of making this!! :O)

Sooooo good! I used frozen broccoli, regular milk instead of half-and-half and I took half of the broth with 1 bag of broccoli and ran it through the blender and then added the other bag to the mixture. Very pretty. Very thick. Very hearty!
