The guy should stick to sandwiches.
Delicious. I added the spinach to the broccoli/onion saute to wilt it, crushed red pepper and good cheddar. Was out of cream so used oat milk. Blended up very easy. Super more-ish, a keeper for me.
This was AWFUL! I followed the recipe to the letter, until I saw that the cheese/spinach additions were seizing up my blender (and we have an industrial Ninja), so I added a little more broth. I salvaged it a bit by topping it with crispy pancetta, but it was truly horrible. (the pancetta was darn good!) I watch The Kitchen every week, and think Jeff is adorable, but have realized that although he may be a good cook, he is NOT a chef. Don’t waste your veggies on this recipe!
Delicious
Final product tastes amazing. It was a little challenging getting it all into the blender but once I did, it was all worth it.
I thought the flavor was spot on, but it was very thick, grainy. The texture was not so great. Maybe it was due to the spinach or lack of fat. Idk, but I will continue to look for a broccoli soup recipe that hits all the marks.
Great way to use all of my broccoli stems that I had tucked away in the freezer! I never thought to use spinach before. It really was yummy.
This soup was a BIG HIT! Definitely a keeper! Thanks Jeff M!! Love your hilarious energy on the show❤️
It is a very thick soup, but it is delicious. I like the thickness because it is from the veggies more so than a soup thickened with a starch. The quantity of veggies almost makes the butter, cheese and cream seem healthy.
