This is good and very easy to make. I made this as written, but used fresh broccoli in place of frozen. The instant mashed potatoes thickened this nicely, but I found that they took over the flavor of the soup. In my opinion, it tasted too much like watery instant mashed potatoes. Overall, it was good, but next time I'd cut the amount of instant potatoes in half. Thanx for sharing!
