Hello, Donalee,

I would like to make this soup for my family. It sounds delicious and I, too have fresh broccoli and cauliflower that I would like to use. My question to you is, did you have to alter any of the directions, especially the cooking time, when you used fresh, rather than frozen? Also, I am more interested in using my crockpot in place of a dutch oven. Thanks for your time.

Tasty but too watery. Next time, I'd decrease the water, add more cheese & maybe add another can of cream of chicken soup to give it a creamier texture.
