This may not sound like the best on paper, but it is yummy! If you like broccoli you should try it. I adapt it a whole lot to suit my tastes (I'll add the notes) and you could play with it too. As you'll notice, I hate cauliflower (but might be willing to try it in this soup again), and the spicy stuff I leave out.
Enjoy!

Hi Brandi,
You can substitute fat-free 1/2 & 1/2 or evaporated skim milk.
