Notes
Add a pinch of crushed red pepper for a little kick.
I added a couple of mushrooms to the broccoli to steam, used Gouda cheese and it turned out delicious.
this is a good recipe, i think next time i will add celery and onion and Mrs, Dash as others have
Just made this for the first time after purchasing my Blendtec, today. After getting some ideas from the comments, I added a few slices of Vidalia onion with the broccoli to steam. I used chicken broth (1 1/4 C and 3/4 C of water for the 2 cups of liquid), added a garlic clove, some Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning (because I like a little spice), used about 5 oz. of sharp white cheddar cheese instead of 3, and I sprinkled a little shredded cheese on the top. It turned out great! Delicious and satisfying. I had two bowls. :)
Just made this tonight. The recipe is very basic so you just need to impovise to suit your taste. I used 1.5C Chicken Broth & .5C water, also added a bit more cheese…1/2C shredded chedar. It was soooo good both my Teenagers 16&13 ate a full bowl. Admitingly, my daughter can make a mean Chedar/Broccoli like Marie Callendars. This version is lighter and my kids say…."wow thats green" but it taste so good.
Was so excited to try this soup with my new blender! It was so awful and bland. I was trying to take it down and then thought to myself this is not a cleanse , it’s supposed to be an enjoyable dinner so I tossed it out. The smoothies and juices are good and I will still try other recipies but this is not worth the time !!!
