Notes
Add a pinch of crushed red pepper for a little kick.
I like brocolli. I like it raw, steamed with a bit of salt, and baked with cheese. I thought there was no way this recipe could go wrong. However, it did – it tastes pretty much like someone barfing up brocolii, then adding saliva to it to foam. It’s foamy and tastes like vomit. I was disappointed as I just purchased my blender and thought that I could make soups with it. I guess not.
Hi Anita. Yes, the broccoli needs to be steamed.
What’s the best way to measure out 4 cups of broccoli? I tried using my kitchen scale, but 32 oz. of broccoli looked like way too much.
Great recipe! Quick, easy, and healthy.
Ok, I dint what some of you did wrong, but this soup is easy to make and delicious.
For those of you that’s ya it is bland, I think you added way too much broccoli.
Thanks for the great recipe!
