YUM!
Quick Easy Cheap - Relatively Healthy (except for the cheese)
Mine was not nearly as green as the pic, maybe it was the broccoli. I also should have chopped the broccoli finer. Because mine was chunky, I used the processor longer than I should have which made the soup watery. Schoolboy error.
I will make this again for sure.
Best soup ever - and I didn't have any cheese in the house! Used homemade chicken soup from the roast leftovers (had some carrots in it). Added 2 cloves of chopped garlic to the onion (used continental salad onions - more delicate), also fresh pepper. Mindblowingly tasty and very filling. Cant wait to try with some blue cheese. :)
Made this for a quick evening meal. Well it really was very easy and speedy to make. Even better, it was delicious and filling too. Definitely one to keep in the repertoire, especially if I want to use up broccoli lurking in the fridge. If you are looking for a "feel good" soup then I can thoroughly recommend this one. Fantastic colour too.
Made this first time in the Peak District as I got some lovely blue cheese, and it was magnificent...my husband does not like broccoli particularly, and definitely not likes blue cheese, but he could not get enough of this soup...with homemade croutons out of some stone dry piece of bread...is to die for, and so so easy to make!Try it!
