This is an easy and great soup. I only cooked the onion to translucent (didn't want brown bits in my cream soup) and only simmered it for 40 minutes (broccoli was cooked). I also added 2 cups of medium cheddar cheese at the end. Yes, this is a thick soup, but it is reminscent of soup you get at some of the casual dining chains. This texture is what I expected and would not change it! Delicious reheated too!

Very good soup. I followed the directions exactly and the only thing I would change for next time is to add maybe 8-10 tbls of flour rather than 12 because it was too thick for me and I do enjoy thick soups but this was too thick. The overall taste of the soup was great. Thanks for a very good soup recipe.

I made this account back in 2001, when the site was called "Recipezaar". A lot has changed in my life since then. My kids are all grown and I try to eat a low-carb lifestyle now. Some of my older recipes were handed down from my grandmother. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I have.
Current recipes that I post will mostly be low carb or keto.
