Very easy to make. I felt it was missing something so I added shredded sharp cheddar cheese at the end sprinkled with lots of pepper. That gave it a complete broccoli soup flavor. Very delicious!!

I picked this recipe over others because it looked easy and was very pleased. I doubled the recipe because I had a LOT of broccoli and cauliflower left over from a party and wanted to make more than four servings. It turned out great and was easy to add more or less ingredients depending on what you have. Just throw in what you have and boil it down to the right consistency. I uploaded a picture, but note that that is before it's totally boiled down. It was one of those days and I wanted to get the picture while I could as I had to keep turning off the soup to leave the house.

Mmmm, this is nice, thick and creamy. I didn't use frozen veg as I had fresh in the fridge, it was very easy and quick to make, I also used skimmed milk to reduce the fat it was so creamy that you could make it with just stock and you wouldn't notice the difference. I would add lot's of pepper for the seasoning I think it needs it. Thank you for posting.
