This is a great creamy soup with tons of flavor! I liked the salmon and broccoli together and topped it with a parmesan/romano blend. I used all dried spices since that is what I had on hand; also had some heavy cream to use up so used 1/2 milk and 1/2 cream. Was perfect for the rainy/snowy gloomy day we had. Made for Zaar Stars.
