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!

Yummy!!! I used two bunches of broccoli, white pepper and added two cloves of fresh minced garlic cooked with broccoli and onions in stock.

Fantastic soup!! I no longer need to buy store brand no more. Only changes I made was, I used whipping creme in place of the half and half and chicken boullion cubes for the broth. When we sat down to have this soup we added white rice in our bowls with the soup. YUM! Great for them cold rainy days! This is certainly a keeper in my soup book! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.

Pretty good basic flavor, but I found that I wanted to add a whole lot more broccoli. I started out with the recipe amount, which I pureed in the blender. Then I steamed about another 4 cups of fresh broccoli flowerettes until pretty soft; then chopped them with a knife until they were in pretty small pieces. This gave the soup more texture as well as a much stronger broccoli flavor. I also added about 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. All said and done, it was quite tastey and still made about 8 servings.

I used this recipe for a soup and sandwich at church and everyone raved about it. Some said it is the best broccoli soup they have ever eaten. I concur!!!

This was great! I didn't have half & half, so I used heavy cream. I also added garlic and carrots before blending everything together. Will definitely make again. Thanks!

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)

This was the best cream of broccoli I have had and it was so easy to make! I added 2 cloves of garlic (crushed) with the onions and I also added three carrots. I needed to use the carrots up and I didn't quite have 20 oz of broccoli. It was so tasty! I also used 4 cups of broth because I didn't want a partial can left over. I hardly had to use salt or pepper. And I hesitated adding cheese - and that says a lot for me because I have the cooking motto that you can never have too much cheese. This was such a tasty soup with or without soup. My husband kept raving about it and said that he couldn't wait to eat it in front of everyone else at work. He and I ate all of it between dinner and lunch! It kind of reminded me of a creamy veggie dip - super yummy and also pretty!
