Broccoli-Mascarpone Soup image

From Bon Appetit, Dec. 2006 under "All the Trimmings" from Betty Rosbottom. This soup looks terrific in the photo. You can make this a day ahead of serving. Just cover and chill. Heat soup over medium heat, stirring occasionally; do not boil. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with reserved mascarpone. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover broccoli. I usually have some leftover from making roasted broccoli or broccoli slaw, and this soup is the perfect way to use it up.

This soup is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, creamy, and filling. I love serving it with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but this soup changed my mind. The mascarpone cheese mellows out the bitterness of the broccoli and creates a creamy, flavorful soup that I can't get enough of.

The soup was good, but I found the mascarpone cheese to be a bit overpowering. Next time, I'll use less of it.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add extra salt, pepper, and garlic powder to give it some flavor.

I love how versatile this soup is. I've made it with different types of cheese, added roasted vegetables, and even used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. Always turns out delicious!

I've tried many broccoli soups, but this one is by far the best. The mascarpone adds a velvety texture and a subtle sweetness that balances out the slightly bitter broccoli. Highly recommend!

This soup was a delightful surprise! The combination of broccoli, mascarpone, and Parmesan created a rich, creamy, and flavorful broth. I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick, and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this again.
