Notes
Add a pinch of crushed red pepper for a little kick.
This was amazing and quick! Based on other reviews I used 1.25 lb frozen broccoli, 2 carrots, 1 onion, 2 cloves garlic. I chopped the carrots into 3 pieces and the onion into 1/8th. I put all the vegetables in a bowl with a few tablespoons of water in the microwave for 10 minutes. I didn’t have broth so I just used 2 cups of water. I increased the cheese to 4 oz. I used salt and spices exactly as listed. This was really flavorful, not too watery, and was devoured in a single meal. The only change I might make next time is to not hold aside any of the broccoli for the end. I like a creamier soup and don’t feel the need for chunks of broccoli.
