Oh my goodness, yum yum. I love broccoli and all of the great things in this warming and comforting soup. I enjoyed it last evening for dinner with fresh hot biscuits. It not hard to make and uses things that I usually have on hand. I might add that this is a bright point of feel good enjoyment in this season of wonderful but rich indulgences. Thanks very much Deb.Reply
