I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of regular milk. The soup was still delicious!

I didn't have any potatoes on hand, so I used cauliflower instead. It worked out great!

The soup was too thick for my liking. I added some more milk, and it was perfect.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

I love that this soup is made with fresh broccoli and potatoes. It makes it so much more flavorful than soups made with frozen vegetables.

I'm not usually a fan of cream soups, but this one changed my mind. The broccoli and potatoes were cooked perfectly, and the cream sauce was rich and flavorful without being too heavy.
