Dreamy for sure! I made this just as written right down to the heart piping (it wasn't the most artistic but looked cute). The chevre cheese is the perfect choice for this. A nice break from the ordinary broccoli soups. Thanx for posting this! -
Oh Yum! I used Cascadia frozen organic broccoli and mascarpone instead of goat cheese--I also added a bit of parsley oil at service. Otherwise obeyed. Great soup! Thanks, CG!
