I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a hit. My family loves it, and it's a great way to get them to eat their vegetables. I usually add a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little bit of a kick.

This soup is so easy to make, and it's so delicious. I love that I can use frozen broccoli, which makes it a great weeknight meal. I also like to add a little bit of crumbled bacon to the top of the soup before serving.
