Mushroom & Broccoli Soup image

One of my girls won't eat meat and the other struggles to get enough fiber. This recipe is a perfect way to give them what they need in a dish they love to eat. I save my broccoli stems in the freezer until I have about two small bags, and then I make soup. -Maria Davis, Flower Mound, Texas
