"I followed this recipe from BigOven.com fairly closely. Only big variation was that i think it a waste just to use the florets ... so i steam the stocks, puree them in food processor and add them back to the soup. It does make it thicker and more Brocollie-ee. Me i think it was an improvement ... denise said the soup at BJ's was thinner and she seemed to like that better ... but she said mine was good too." - sethRYield: 8 Ready in 45 minutes

Very good! I did what the previous person did using 3 cups of broth, 2 cups of half and half. The only thing I did different is use a cup of cheddar cheese and half a block of valveeta cheese too.

You definetly need more spice but overall good. Next time I will make the broccoli about half of bite size and add a little more cheese.
