This soup was awful. It had no flavour. And the consistency was like green oatmeal, with the rice as a thickener. I followed this recipe exactly and had to add more milk to thin it, but it stayed like porridge. Won't make this again. Threw the whole pot out.

This recipe was ok but seemed to be missing something. I might try adding garlic to it next time. It tasted better the next day.

I have made this soup many times, and my teenage boys love it. I often change it up with adding shredded carrots and I also add more cheese

I only made 2 minor changes, - didn't add as much water called for, only 1 & 1/2 cups of water - added extra cheese It was a hit & everyone loved it.

Good! I also used half cauliflower and half broccoli as someone else suggested.

I love this recipe! It tastes a lot better if you subsitute 1/2 the broccoli with cauliflower and carrots. Gives it a heartier taste.

This soup is very thin. It tastes like hot broccoli water. I only had a couple of spoonfuls before I had to toss the rest. Would not make again.
