Very easy to make and tasted good. I would make it again but would reduce the amount of stock (or add another cup of potato) as it was very runny.

This was very good and easy to make. I added a little flour to thicken it

LOVED it! I took all kinds of liberties, but I grasped the PRINCIPLE, and as it was my first time to make broccoli soup, I now feel educated, and I congratulate my spirit of adventure. This recipe was a total success for me, regardless that I did not follow it EXACTLY. Wonderful! Thanks for the concept. BTW, I started out with need to use lots broccoli stems. Worked great. Next time I'll add dollop of yogurt to serving bowl.
