"A great recipe for a simple and delicious pasta. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. I made it just as directed and it loved it!"
-Jonathan Melendez
"I've made this twice, the only changes were using chicken and doubling the sauce, and my whole family loves it!"
-SukeyNY
"My mother-in-law taught me to make this! And boy is it good. She adds raisins, apples and chopped walnuts. I know that sounds strange but it is really good!"
-Gabby1
"Wow! I am freaking out right now because I just made Panera's broccoli cheddar soup in my own kitchen! It tastes exactly like their recipe. I just wish I had made bread bowls to go with it! I would give it 500 stars!"
-One Happy Mama
"I doubled the recipe and took this to a BBQ at a friend's and it was a big hit! I usually do not like to take new recipes to parties, or serve to guests before making it for us at home first, but this salad is great and I knew it would be loved once I mixed it up and tried it."
-AZPARZYCH
"This was absolutely awesome! The beef was also VERY tender! First time that I made a beef stir-fry where the meat wasn't kinda chewy. The long marination is definitely the big key to this recipe."
-Lilladyc
"I loved this recipe! Followed the recipe exactly and the only thing I would do differently is add salt and pepper. It was nice to find a recipe that does not make such a large amount for just my husband and myself. Now I know I can double or triple as needed."

With pre-prepared pizza dough, this simple pizza can be ready in next to no time. Cook the sausage before adding it to the pizza and consider blanching the broccolini for a more tender texture.
"I was very happy to come across this recipe since I was really getting tired of my standard broccoli preparation. The flavors and textures in this dish work so well together. I'm not sure I can ever go back to plain, blanched broccoli again."
-DanaPNY
"This recipe is awesome just as it is, but we have a vegetarian in the family. So I tried it substituting vegetable broth instead and it was better than using chicken broth. I was shocked. I love it either way."
-Bella T.
" This is a great salad. Loved the almonds & sunflower seeds together. My kids liked this one."
-FLYing4Me
"The technique is what makes this recipe. Follow the directions exactly and you will be amazed at the result (nutty flavor almost). It is fabulous. Adding water changes the integrity of the vegetable, and adding other seasonings will have you missing out on the subtle flavors that the salt and oil bring out."
-dunncarter
"I use this recipe for dinner at home and to bring for potluck lunches at work. I get the most compliments on this dish. My kids say it’s their favorite side dish!"
-memetheriot
"I love broccoli cheddar soup but most times they can be super heavy and sometimes way too cheesy. But this one was creamy and smooth and absolutely perfect! I enjoyed it all week."
-Jonathan Melendez
"How do you improve upon perfection? You can't! All I can do is offer a tip to getting there easier. For the Ritz cracker crumbs, 1-1/2 cups of crumbs is exactly one tube of Ritz crackers. Just squeeze the package with your hands and voila—instant crumbs."
-Debbie Loves to Cook
"We have food allergies we work around, and this is EXACTLY what we needed. It has become our staple for broccoli soup. We enjoy the dill, and all the rest. My one suggestion is to make sure you blend it well!"
-PTKSmom
"Nice and subtle with just the right amount of tang. I used broccoli, beans and asparagus. Terrific!"
-Sueie
"If the rest of my family weren't eating it, I would have eaten the entire dish all by myself—fantastic! Oh-so yummy, can't say enough good things about it!"
-BlessedMommy22
"My husband and daughter adore this salad. I only use about a quarter of the red onion though so it doesn't overwhelm. Always popular at potluck dinners. Colorful and different."
-Marg CaymanDesigns
"Recipe was delish. I used the marinade as a sauce which thickened with the cornstarch when added to the mixture. Then served it over rice."
-Deborah G.
"Very good as-is, however, I have found that, if I use two cans of coconut milk instead of regular milk, the flavor is even better. I have used smoked gouda in place of the cheddar... also very good."
-ddean1257
"This is such a unique way to cook broccoli! The only change I made was to use cornstarch to thicken up the sauce instead of flour. Hope this is helpful to those who want a gluten-free version of this recipe."
-SharonChen
"Yummy! A great way to do tofu. The broccoli adds nice texture, color and flavor too. We added about half a red bell pepper, but next time I think I will try Meow!'s suggestion of mushrooms. We served over brown rice, but I think it would be good with udon or soba noodles as well."
-Roosie
"This was amazing, AND I served it to omnivores who DEVOURED it. I quote: 'Seriously, Becky, if you hadn't told me this was vegan, I never would have known.'"
-Kozmic Blues
"Delicious soup! Hard to believe it's low-carb. Even if you aren't on a special diet, you will enjoy this soup. It's creamy, tasty and easy to prepare."
-DeliciousAsItLooks
"My husband and I devoured about a pound of broccoli after making this recipe; we couldn't leave it alone! Oh yeah, a tip for making sure all the broccoli pieces are evenly coated: put the oil mixture and broccoli in a gallon-size zip-lock bag and shake it up."
-saucy sal
"This simple and tasty dish is a new favorite with me! I love the simplicity of this recipe, especially on busy nights when I have to work late and am starving when I get home."
-MikeandCassie
"A really simple, delicious and classic quiche! Would be great with even more veggies like mushrooms or spinach too!"
-LimeandSpoon
"Let me preface this with saying I've never been successful making a "wok" dish. This recipe has given me hope and may spur me on to try again! The steps were so clear and simple."
-DuChick
"This was fabulous! I followed some of the other suggestions to add some garlic and butter. So simple and delicious!"
-DSimone
"Fantastic and fast recipe, I used frozen broccoli and it came out great! Tasted amazing with parmesan bread."
-alenafoodphoto
"This is a great recipe. I've probably made it a dozen times over the past few years."
-sweetjr
"This was very good!! I was amazed at how simple it was and how it still tasted excellent! I did as Lubie suggested and added cayenne pepper."
-Usako Yamakawa
"My husband and I both thought this was awesome. I might add some chicken next time and make it more of a casserole or main dish."
-Pismo
"This soup has an excellent flavor and I love the quantity of vegetables it contains. However, for some reason it seemed like it needed more liquid so I ended up adding an extra cup of water and I used an entire cup of cream."
-Miriachi
"I've been making this quiche for twenty years. It's absolutely great and always turns out perfectly."
-dcmaysudc
"Fast and delicious... my favorite kind of recipe! Very low-fat and full of flavor. The trick of soaking the craisins in the vinegar and orange juice mixture was GENIUS! It infused them with flavor and made them nice and soft and sweet."
-Maven in the Making
"Perfect! Next time I'm going to add some cooked chicken when baking for a 'one-pot' meal."
-Logans Mommy
"I made this on the top of the stove instead of the microwave, but it was still very quick and easy to make. It's nice all-in-one meal that kids and adults alike will enjoy."
-Parsley
"This is really, really good. I made this a while ago and if I remember correctly I used frozen or boxed tortellini. Whatever kind you use, be careful not to stir too much or overcook it; this would make for a soggy salad."
-Munchkin Mama
"Wow! I am thoroughly impressed! I followed the recipe to the letter and used another reviewer's suggestion to add a little worchestershire sauce to the bowls of soup. That's all I can say, 'WOW.'"
-OneFootInThePoorHou
"I've been trying different beef and broccoli recipes for awhile now. I think this is the one I'll be sticking with. Very, very good."
-sandrasothere
"I tasted it after about 15 minutes and it was wonderful. An hour later and I wanted to eat the whole dish and not share. It coated it nicely without being soggy. The dressing is sweet with a slight tang that blends well with the other flavors. I made this with pulled pork sandwiches."
-BrattiPattiB
"Absolutely loved this! I am sometimes put off recipes when I see a list of soups mixed together, so the fact this is from scratch was perfect! Still easy to make and that buttery, breadcrumb topping was the cherry on top!"
-anniesnomsblog
"This is a great and easy to make recipe for a weekday lunch! Next time I'll probably add some ham in there too and experiment with the seasonings a little. Love that it's served on Italian bread too as it's my favorite!"
