Here’s the version of this soup I made today – with just a few changes: sauteed garlic and 1 small onion while steaming my broccoli. Used tarragon, thyme and celery seed in place of nutmeg. Substituted 1 cup of water with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk. It’s tasty, and took all of 12-15 minutes to make. Delicious!
I just made this for my lunch. I don’t have a Blentec. I stemmed the broccoli and processed everything in my Ninja blender, then just heated the soup on the stove. Creamy and delicious!
Love this recipe. Instead of nutmeg I went with Cayenne. Fantastic.
Wow this was delicious!!! After reading the reviews I decided to add a little more cheese. So I added 1 1/2 cups instead of 1/2 cup (3oz) of Kraft sharp shredded cheese. I used 3 heads of broccoli and used chicken broth instead of vegetable. The hot setting went for 180 seconds and the soup came out soooo rich and creamy. My husband had thirds! Definitely going to make this again!!
Does anyone know what the 60 and 90 cycles mean on the model 575??
