Crm of Broccoli Soup

Ginger Marszalek from Southwick, MA

I tried this today on July the 4th! It's a cool damp day in New England. The soup was easy to prepare, but seemed lacking something in the flavour dept. I added salt & pepper in the beginning - so it didn't lack that. Perhaps next time I'll use fresh broccoli. It seemed it didn't taste "broccoli" enough. I even added some locally made white cheddar cheese. Maybe even some bacon will be good cooked with the onion. Still, it was a hearty and satisfying soup!

This soup was fantastic! Easy and quick to make My son loved it. I especially like the use of Evaporated milk rather than cream. I also used fresh broccoli instead of the frozen.
MMMMMMMMMMM Good!!

Carol Chaltron from MADISON HEIGHTS, MI

Loved the soup very easy to prepare only thing I will do next time is not puree the broccoli. I like big chunks of broccoli. I also added some carrots just for some color. Hubby liked it too. It did need salt and pepper. I think that's to every ones personal taste. Wonderful soup thank you
Great Soup!

Lisa Gutierrez from Southfield, MI

I downloaded the recipe for Easy Cream of Broccoli soup and made two batches within a couple of days. It was so good, it went very quickly. I used fresh steamed broccoli instead of the frozen, and it was excellent! This will definately be a staple this winter.

Debbie Freno from San Antonio, TX

This soup was simple and easy to make. It needed a little extra flavor however, and so I added some salt and pepper. I also put some shredded cheddar cheese on top before serving and that gave the soup additional flavor and color as well.
Delicious and Easy

Donna Behm from EVANS CITY, PA

Very Delicious and Easy to make. I added some shredded Provolone Cheese and Garlic Pepper seasoning salt. I think the cheese made it a little more creamy. The soup was Delicious. Thank-you.
Excellent, indeed!!

Jessica Weiss from WICHITA FALLS, TX

Fantastic soup and so easy to make! I added a bit of white cooking wine to the broth and broccoli puree, and it turned out wonderful! We had ours with fresh baked cornbread...YUM!

This was just the thing for a chilly day treat, simple and delicious,I added some shredded cheddar cheese to the top of each serving,it was creamy and really good.
love this soup!!

Debbie from

This soup is so easy to make. It is by far the best yet, and believe me, I have tried many different recipes. The only suggestion I can make is: adding some white cheddar to make the soup even creamier, and serve with some homemade croutons. Yum Yum!!

Janese Rosevelt from WHITE LAKE, MI

This WAS easy! I love broccoli soup. It is a nice "winter-y" soup to sit and enjoy! This one was very tasty. (Must have been the butter!) I will definitely make it again!
Totally Awesome!!!

Angel from Ontario, Canada

All I have to say is that this is the best soup I have ever made. My husband loves it! Instead of frozen broccoli, I used 2 heaping cups of fresh broccoli including the stems (why waste them! - just make sure that you peel the exterior). I also added a couple dashes of pepper, 1 tsp. salt and 1 clove of garlic finely chopped for added flavour. Also, to make the soup more economical, I made my own chicken broth (I measured 14.5 oz. of boiled water and added 2 oxo cubes). This is my new favorite recipe!

I added a small can of mushrooms and shredded white cheddar cheese at the end. Very tasty. I've added this recipe to my favorites.
Very good soup

Veronica Walicki from MILWAUKEE, WI

I like this soup but was looking for a stronger flavor. I added a little garlic and white peper and substituted red onion for white because it was leftover in the fridge. I think I'll try this one more time but with white onions!
This was great !!

I searched everywhere for a Broccoli Soup recipe.I am so glad that I found this one. It is very easy to make and taste wonderful. I just added Velveeta Cheese before adding broccoli and broth mixture for a little added flavor.

Easy Cream of Broccoli Soup

Terry Golden from Grenada, MS

Very good soup, and quick and easy...I used chic. broth in place of the water, along with the other broth called for, creamed all the broccoli instead of leaving some chunks, and sprinkled finely shredded cheddar on top when serving. Fried crumbled bacon goes well too as a garnish on top.

Donna Harrier from Gaylord, MI

This soup was wonderful....I made a double batch for a "community" dinner on my street, and it was gone almost immediately. I could have probably made two or three more batches, and they would have been gone too....

I recently made this for supper and we all loved it. I am used to eating canned broccoli soup so this was a nice change. I think the next time I make this, I might add some chicken and potatoes.

Leftover Broccoli Works Well

This is a perfect recipe! We make it with lower fat evaporated milk and substitute broth made from low fat stock powder for the ready to use broth. Economical, easy, and tasty. My kitchen anxiety is fading!
