I made this soup with a California blend vegetable mix (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots). It was delicious and I will definitely make this again.

this soup is delicious! I made the full recipe and ate it all my self over several lunches and dinners! Got a little kick to it and I think I would cut the cayenne in 1/2 or more if serving to my children. Easy too! Kind of tastes like cream of cheese and broccoli soup, but its nice with the extra vegetables!

I would like to see the nutritional info for this before making. Does anyone have it? TOH?

This has become my new favorite soup! I saw it prepared at a cooking school I went to and it smelled so good I had to try it at home. Even my toddlers love it! I substitute frozen broccoli for the fresh with really good results.

This recipe is wonderful in these cold winter months. It's quick and easy to make...and the leftovers are just as wonderful.

I saw this recipe in the ToH Fall 2009 magazine; the picture of the made dish made it inviting hence it looked delicious, so I made it for the family. It was an instant hit and definitely into the future meal plan of our Tuesday and Thursday soup and salad supper.

Easy and sooo good. Used a little less cayenne pepper and reduced butter; also steamed vegetables but outstanding. Lois S
