Hi,
I hope you don’t mind me saving this recipe because I definitely want to try it ASAP! I have a bit of confusion about your instructions.. You said:

Are you saying to add all veggies except one cup of broccoli? Or one cup of each veggie?
Stephanie says
So sorry for the confusion, Ruby. Add everything except one cup of broccoli. Hope you enjoy the soup! 🙂

I made this last night – and it is amazing! I made adjustments – used real garlic, pureed the soup, and used aged extra sharp cheese (I also used homemade stock). I’m not a fan of broccoli cheese soup – but I loved this! Thank you for sharing this.
