I have been on a full liquid diet for several years now and have been blending and straining 6 different Campbell's soups. Thank goodness I discovered this site. I have actually been giddy creating a whole new world of delicious cream soup and bisques that actually make me enjoy eating like I haven't in the 6 years since my liquid diet began due to health reasons.

Oh my goodness...this was awesome. My hubby who always just says everything is "ok" actually said it was just about the best soup he has ever had and the kids want to take it to school tomorrow. It was very good. The directions did confuse me when it says to set broccoli aside but do not drain...was I supposed to add the water from the broccoli to the soup too? I did not, I just used a slotted spoon to move the broccoli into the soup. I would give 4 stars for directions but 10 for taste. Hubby took pictures so I will post those soon.
