Not the ordinary cream of broccoli soup! This has much more "spunk" to it. I made this with 16 oz of fresh broccoli, and 3 cups of chicken broth in place of 2 cups of broth and 1 cup of water. I used a fairly hot curry powder. Those mustard seeds added a nice flavor, too. This is a great soup for when you're bored of the "same old" cream of broccoli soup. The flavors will warm you up. Thanx for sharing this recipe! -
Not as creamy as I expected.Kinda a bland. So I added more cream and spices like hot sauce, salt, pepper and garlic.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
