We enjoyed the flavor combinations of this soup. I'll make it again, but leave larger chunks of broccoli (I chopped them too small), and since my husband found it a bit on the salty side, I'll leave out the teaspoon of salt. I think there's enough salt from the bacon and the hollandaise powder mix. Overall, a great addition to my cookbook!
