Excellent soup! Thanks for sharing (I love C.L. recipes!). Another reader was right, it's even great before the cheese is added. (Will make it that way next time-yum!) I used my immersion blender and blended it until it was almost cream of broccoli keeping some pieces for texture. Delicious! - 1/19/11
