I used frozen broccoli for this recipe and it turned out great. It's a great way to use up leftover broccoli.

I'm allergic to garlic, so I omitted it from the recipe. The puree was still delicious.

The puree was a little too thick for my liking. I would add more milk or broth next time.

This puree was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more cheese or garlic next time.

This broccoli puree was a hit with my family! It was so creamy and flavorful, and the perfect side dish to our roasted chicken. I will definitely be making this again.
