Very flavourful and healthy. I will certainly make this again. It is also very filling.

WONDERFUL!!! I elected to use a potato masher instead of blending the soup. It was SOOO good that I had it for dinner last night and lunch today! Thanks!!!

Extremely easy to make. Delicious. Four stars only because I need to leave room at the very top for the very best. I will make this frequently. Leave a few florets aside to decorate the top upon serving, and/or swirl in a little cream. Only a little, tho'!

I had a bunch of broccoli to use up and didn't want a fattening soup so this was perfect for us. I only used 1 potato since that's all I had. Delicious!!!

LOVE this! Derf, another winner : ) I used olive oil instead of butter and didn't realize I didn't have any nutmeg until it was too late. I had to google what you can use in place of nutmeg. Turns out not much! I ended up using tiny (and I mean tiny!) pinches of allspice, coriander, cinnamon, black pepper and a clove. I let the potatoes cook for awhile before adding the broccoli. I thought the amount of broccoli looked like alot, but it was just perfect. This is so healthy and so yummy! Thanks Derf!
