Note

For a creamier texture, you can use half-and-half instead of milk.

If using fresh broccoli, blanch the florets for 3-4 minutes before adding them to the soup to ensure they are tender.

This soup does not freeze well due to the dairy content. It is best enjoyed fresh or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or potatoes for a heartier version.
