Cream of Broccoli Soup

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Freezing may alter texture slightly.

For a smoother soup, blend thoroughly with an immersion blender or in a countertop blender.

Adjust the consistency by adding more broth or milk if it's too thick.

Garnish with a swirl of cream, croutons, or shredded cheese for extra flavor and texture.
