    Yum! My family and I enjoyed this healthy, comforting soup. I did use frozen homemade turkey stock instead of water, so I might try it with water when I don’t have stock on hand. I served the soup with Trader Joe’s cheddar and jalapeño biscuits - yum! Including prep, this recipe took me 80 minutes, so it’s more of a weekend indulgence vs. a weeknight dinner.

    I thought this was delicious just as written.

    I made this and found it very flavorful. I did make sure my broccoli was very browned on two sides and the flavor really comes through. I all also used a can of white beans instead of potatoes. I just didn't have any potatoes on hand but the white beans worked great and add a lot more fiber.

    Another of my favorites from this book. I like to make the Cheddar and Rye Biscuits to go with it for a delicious and satisfying meal!

    For how much extra work this ended up being, it was just okay. We won't make it again.

    I didn’t love this right away...the consistency was more puréed than I expected but somehow not as smooth as I wanted. At any rate, it was really good the next day and I crumbled leftover rye and cheddar biscuits over the top. Super.

    This soup was light and yummy. I added beef boullion and lemon and lime and Parmesan. Was nice. Needs bread :)

    This was good--not great, but good. I didn't find that the soup tasted particularly caramelized, although pan-searing the broccoli was definitely a fast way to soften it. I was hesitant to add as much salt as MC calls for--over 2t seemed like quite a bit, but I think it actually is necessary to give this enough flavor. Next time I'd just follow the salting instructions as written. Even so, this is the kind of soup that really needs the lemon juice/parm garnish to make it shine. Maybe a bit too bare-bones for me.
