    Yummy soup!!! I made this as written, except for adding some black pepper, for my lunch today. I am also not a huge broccoli fan but love broccoli soups. I liked that this is a lower fat version and uses a potato as the thickener. I did use 2% milk and opted to top it with some cheddar cheese, yum!! I used my small Ninja blender/chopper and it really purified the soup, so next time I would use something less powerful or only add part of the soup to the blender, so I would have some chunks/texture in the soup. Thanks for sharing another yummy recipe BK. Made for Went to the Market Tag Game.

    I think the parboiling helps keep the lovely green color for this soup. I probably would add more potato next time, for just a bit more body to the soup, and perhaps add some additional herbs - just a personal preference. Topped with croutons and shredded cheddar, this warmed us up on a cold evening.

    This is a perfect soup for a lunch on a cold winter day! I love broccoli and love cream of veggie soups so this was perfect for me. Since it is really hot where I live right now, I am going to try what was leftover as a chilled soup. I added a bit more salt and some ground black pepper. Thanks for sharing! Made for Went to the Market tag game.

    It's hard to go wrong with broccoli as it's my favorite veg. I used almond milk in this grand soup (I've been using it almost exclusively for awhile). I like the amount of potato in this. it provides the body and consistency that you want in a cream soup without an overload of carbs and calories. This amount fed myself and 3 men. For me it made a meal.along with a salad. For the guys it was an opener followed by "dinner"-:rofl: Everyone enjoyed it
