This makes a very tasty basic soup, but it was too thin for my tastes, even though I used more than the indicated amount of broccoli. I think I would probably add a diced potato to it next time, to create a little more body. It is a soup that I think provides a nice basis for additions that would make it a very good soup indeed,
