I was looking for something with a lot of protein that I could eat without chewing as I just had dental surgery . This was perfect the only adjustment I had to make was I processed all the broccoli. It was tasty and filling.

Quick and easy recipe. Really nice flavor. I added some chicken bouillon and garlic salt to taste and I threw the onions into the blender with the broccoli. Thank you Charlotte! I made this for the "Something Old, Something New" event - March 2009 :)
