Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli. Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Cook the broccoli properly. Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water, but if you use water, you'll need to add some extra flavor with salt, pepper, and other seasonings.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many ways to make cream of broccoli soup. You can add different vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or onions. You can also add different seasonings, such as garlic, onion powder, or paprika. Feel free to experiment until you find a recipe that you love.
