"This is really good. I didn’t blend it, so it had a slightly different consistency, but it was still yummy! Be generous with the black pepper."

I like this soup, but feel it needs something more. I added garlic with the onion & lots of salt & pepper to our bowls, but it still needs *something* we just can't put our finger on it. Bev's pic of the soup looked very thick (like mashed avocado :) ) so Matt added another 3/4 - 1 cup of stock. I'll make it again, but play with it a bit; maybe add a carrot or 2. -
This is a wonderful broccoli soup! I used a 1 lb 13 oz can of butter beans and otherwise followed dicentra's directions to the letter, using my immersion blender to cream the soup. All this simple recipe needs is a little salt and pepper! Thank you, dicentra : )

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
