I have been looking for a restaurant quality broccoli soup for so long. This was just outstanding. I used half and half instead of cream and 3 Tbsp. of butter to save some calories, and it was still so rich creamy and delicious. Thank you so much for posting this. My husband said it was a winner as well, and he has never cared about broccoli soup.
