Another idea to make the soup more hearty is to chop up the broccoli stalks, sauté them in olive oil and/or butter (you can also add a small onion and some baby peppers), put them in a blender with some of your liquid, blend well, then strain (or not) the mixture back into the soup. This makes it thicker and recovers the nutrients from the stalks that would have been thrown away. If it’s too thick, just mix in a little water.

[@monikiesfifty-two1995]

I've made this a few times and I could never wait long enough for it to cool down. I always end up burning my tongue; lol it's that delicious. Thank you again for the recipe!

[@RobertDigitalArtist]

Dont waste money buying chopped broccoli. If you have time to make this recipe, you have time for 1 minute of chopping it yourself.

[@pureloveforever3436]

Robert LC - Digital Artist exactly

[@demijones7537]

I always get fresh broccoli. Only time I used frozen was when I had a big bag of it already in the freezer but the fresh is cheaper and better

[@timexyemerald6290]

this recipe is riddled with unnecessary steps and in some way wasting some of the ingredients

[@madduxdonald2800]

instaBlaster.

[@joer2513]

Who on earth buys pre-chopped brocolli/onions, I don't get it...

[@mariellerubeor261]

just made this soup with a few adjustments: first I used a frozen bag of brocolli, cauliflower, and carrot mix. then I diced half an onion and threw it in. I also added half milk, half heavy cream for the dairy part. I also seasoned with a big of garlic powder. soup is delicious, can't wait to eat it tonight.

[@gulabjamun777]

This sounds more healthy:)

[@nighinat1658]

I fried some onions at the beginning and added some potatoes and it came out super delicious 😋

[@CreateOneDay]

I made this tonight. It's just me, so I quartered the recipe and have enough left over to freeze for another meal. I also used Monterey Jack instead of shredded cheddar and I used more chicken broth than milk and it still turned out very creamy. Delicious! Also, a nice crusty baguette was the perfect complement.

[@sunnydee196]

*Ingredients* 2 heads broccoli Salted water (2 min boil) 3/4 cup butter 3/4 cup flour (Rue) 9 cups chicken stock 9 cups milk 1 t salt 1 1/2 t white pepper 1.5lbs processed cheese 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese About 18-24 servings

[@allrecipes]

Hi there, thanks for your question. This recipe uses processed cheese and shredded cheddar which are both melting cheeses. Was there a specific kind of melted cheese you were referring to?

[@cutiepatookie19]

This was an excellent recipe. I would have never thought to use white pepper. Thank you so much. Me and my family loved it!

[@marcia1301]

I made broccoli cheese Soep today... .. super delicious. I made mine a bit spicy by adding a little cayenne pepper in it. The healthy part is that I used rice flour instead of all purpose flour. And just a little butter. And added just 1 cup Gouda cheese. No Cheddar for me!!!! And a lot of broccoli 😋😋😋

[@priceless_motivation]

why are all these comments so negative? the title says nothing about healthy soup, why when people take their precious time to do something for y'all,its always complaints?jus look at the video n make ur own adjustments or keep it moving

[@dickm1393]

It isn't healthy you know that...

[@maryannezou5261]

Dick M Britney P never said that it was healthy. All Britney P said was that the title of the video didn't say it was healthy and that people should stop complaining.

[@JeffreyOsb]

@@dickm1393 Her point was that it doesn't proclaim to be healthy, just delicious. I'm going to assume you've never worked in a restaurant kitchen because you'd probably be amazed at how much better is used to bring flavor into food.

Hello, Baneza Castrejon - We're sorry to hear the roux (pronounced "roo") for this soup didn't turn out right. It can be tricky to make the first time. To share some tips, here are links to two articles with more information and step-by-step instructions. We want you to be successful! allrecipes.com/howto/all-about-roux/detail.aspx allrecipes.com/HowTo/Making-Roux-Step-by-Step/Detail.aspx

[@hatmaneprelvukaj689]

This is the only recept that i prefer too make🤗 thank you for the recipe 🤗👌🍾🥂

[@allrecipes]

That will be just fine, Nica. We'd recommend tasting and adjusting the seasoning - if you need to add extra. Enjoy :)

[@rehalghamdi9959]

I just made the soup and it taste magnificent never thought i would cook something that good i actually made it without cheese am so excited to do it next time with cheese , thanks for the recipe :) ♡

[@That1StarTrekGuy]

This recipe is for a HUGE crowd. I improvised and scaled it back and still had too much. The soup is delicious, very rich and creamy, I stuck to the recipe except for the chicken broth, I simply used milk in its place. If you looking for a good creamy soup and not so worried about the health aspects, try it out! Absolutely worth it

[@silviad1816]

If you are looking for a great recipe this is the one! I have made this recipe several times. It is amazing.

[@allrecipes]

Thanks for your question, Puneet Bsanti. If you don't have white pepper, you may substitute black pepper. White pepper is used in this soup so it blends into the creamy broth and you won't see little black specks. Add the pepper slowly and taste as you do so as not to add too much. Enjoy the soup!

[@derrickfreeman6202]

[@MrTamendez]

Best recipe by far. Made this for the whole family. About 9 people.

[@allrecipes]

Sure can! Freshly ground black pepper would add a great flavor to the soup. Enjoy!

[@maryannusry-rosas6039]

Great idea! You can certainly use the broccoli water, however the stock will give this soup some extra flavor! Enjoy :)

Hi, To be honest, I hardly follow procedures but in this recipe, my kids luv it.. Tnx a lot...

[@shayflowers8471]

I needed this exact recipe to try! Glad I found it. By the easiest way to make the soup!😊

[@lindacharron4021]

I hate the stupid comments about" this is why Americans are so fat" No one ever said you have to eat the whole pan of soup. Do your research before you make assumptions.

[@sherrielea1422]

Americans are fat because of Soy Gmo Corn Syrup Vaccines TV and they've become the greatest show on earth to proof mind control 'Hoarders'

[@lindacharron4021]

I agree Sherrie. I just get a little angry about people assuming that everyone in America is a fat lazy slob that sits on the couch just eating all day long. There is so much poison pumped into the food.

[@dustyroaddesign]

I don't like mean comments either, but the truth is each bowl probably has at least 450 grams of fat.

(The recipe makes 18 servings.) Hope this is useful info for you.

[@Criterion515]

For 1 cup of soup that is quite a lot actually. You know, most people eat soup out of bowls that hold more than 1 cup. If you are having only a cup, then you are also having something else with it, like a sandwich or a main course meat. That is a lot of calories and fat... and especially sodium... for a side dish. I'm not knocking it, just saying that this is not a food you should imply is "light"... by anyone's definition. Just present it as what it is. A nice rich soup. Disclaimer, I am an american female of a normal, healthy weight. One cup would not be a satisfying meal to me.

[@juliegarcia1093]

That looks delicious! My daughter's age 7 and 11 love broccoli and I grill it in the skillet but I'm going to make them this recipe. And my 1 year old baby will like it as well I'm sure. Thank you.

[@allrecipes]

Hi, maryam shammo - You may omit the cheese in this recipe, but it won't have the same flavor or be as creamy, nor make the same quantity. Give it a try though, and adjust the seasonings to your taste.

[@adriellynascimento5705]

Hi! Could you, please, to right the ingredients and how much to use. I am brasilian, my english is not that good, sometimes I don't undestand how much I need to use. do it in all recipes, it is practice. thank you.

[@ZafarWaheed]

Very nicely explained ... It tried it with a minor customization as per my taste and found it yummmmmy ... Soups are always my weakness .... Thank you ma'am for your precious time and lovely recipe. I wonder seeing some negative comments below ... Dudes utilize time positively instead of discouraging ...

[@JazzBerryLily]

To substitute cornstarch for flour, you would only need half of the amount used in this recipe. Basically half of 3/4, or 3/8. Hope that helps. :)

[@conchitaenrich3000]

ADOREI. Preciso fazer essa sopa aqui em casa.

[@user-ph6rj2ur4i]

Nailed it. Even added some mushroom and spinach and cream cheese to make it thicker

[@dartmonke8369]

Seen this video several times. Attempted the soup once but forgot the chicken broth so ended up using water. Next time I will remember the broth. Am I the only one that loves LOVE! the color or cooked broccoli. I never get tired of the color change broccoli takes when cooked.

Fabulous. 🍲 soup so good healthy testy rich 😋 😋 😋

[@thomasmckonigal4191]

Mmmm this looks so nice!:) I think I'll probably add cauliflower and broccoli to try it!:)

[@simplyspeculation8259]

I like to add mushrooms and a little bit of onion to mine. Makes it a little heartier and super delicious.

[@mrssie1223]

Don't forget the garlic and carrots. I would also use half milk and half heavy cream to make it extra creamy. Yummy! ; )

[@boortbeatz9024]

Please try broccoli and cheese wiz no lie when you heat that up, it provides a equisite taste and smooth feel. I grew up on that and it's the best cheese sauce I'm yet to make my own homemade.

[@freddieclark]

get rid of the white pepper and use real pepper, forget processed cheese, forget the chicken stock, use the water from the initial broccoli cook.

[@carsonfran]

White pepper is real pepper, and is a proper ingredient in this type of recipe. I agree with omitting the processed cheese (I used Monterey Jack along with the Cheddar). Chicken stock adds wonderful flavor to the soup.

[@chefgiovanni]

Chicken stock has way more flavor son.

[@mattstone8111]

Broccoli water is great for bringing out the natural blandness of broccoli!

[@maybewise]

+Matt Stone Lmao! XD I'm so confused as to why he got 69 likes for this. Must be vegans. Who the fuck wants broccoli soup with literally just broccoli and water? XD That's fucking hilarious. It isn't even a novel idea. Like "Make a soup of just broccoli, and hot broccoli water?! :O... Mind = Blown."

[@chefgiovanni]

Good eyes, that soup looks tasteless. My French Chef would have cracked her hand with a wooden spoon.

What I like about this is the broccoli isn't over cooked or blended. It compliments the soup rather than consuming it.

Thank for this recipe I use always get this soup at Subway now I can make it at home Thanks

[@RavynGood]

Doesn't make sense to boil the broccoli first rather than just cooking it in the chicken stock and the rest... U lose all that broccoli flavor in the water u boiled it in!

[@chaitanyanatraj1781]

+ravyn good agreed

[@eyewandersfoto]

+ravyn good Preserves the color if you boil it quickly first. Replace some of the chicken stock with the water from the broccoli boil would be my suggestion.

[@mariovences714]

ravyn good the reason for that is so your soup wont come out green

[@bigalbbq4597]

I agree. The best stock for broccoli soup would be the water that the broccoli is blanched in. That's what I use anyway. Blanch or par boil is good for color, makes great stock. Use the stems for sure.

[@pik_rad]

thanks for letting me know. Peace

[@daranu1644]

This soup came so deliciousss

[@xcallmethebigggx]

[@andreapatane4204]

[@lorenzotaylor7340]

it leaves a after taste in your mouth

[@andreapatane4204]

Lorenzo Taylor Leftover flavor?

[@captaincrunch7126]

Assuming you used a chicken bouillon to make the stock you also could've used the boiling water that you softened the broccoli with as the water for the chicken stock.

[@deplaneetegmont]

I'm European and this looks delicious, but I would never call this 'light'. You've got butter, tons of cheese, milk. This is considered extremely fat where I come from.

[@kittylove9389]

This is a party size so all that butter is distributed among a lot of people, not just a family.

TFS recipe. It looks good though I have some Qs and comment..Why not use broth from boiling broccoli? You used chicken stock might be the taste that chicken stock gives you. Thought it would be good to use the water from boiling broccoli . Also u did not use onion or garlic. May I know why? i think it would give great flavor. BTW it would be nice to have recipe with measurements for smaller amt of soup or servings.

When I started learning to cook and came across this recipe it was great my kids really enjoy it but I use the broth from boiling the broccoli instead of the chicken but both r good

[@eyewandersfoto]

I keep seeing soup like this with processed cheese. If you are going to the trouble of making a roux for the soup, why don't you simply skip the nasty processed american cheese and use an ACTUAL cheese (as mild or pungent as you like) and take it a step further to a bechemel ... then add some cream cheese (or even some sodium citrate if you want to get really crazy) for that gooey texture if absolutely needed. In either case, I just don't understand ruining it with ONE AND A HALF POUNDS of processed cheese. My two cents.

[@Meg_88]

+Eyewanders Foto The beauty of cooking is that you can make the recipe whichever way suits your fucking fancy :). Don't like an ingredient? Omit it or replace it. It's real simple.
