Smoked Gouda-Broccoli Soup

Loved this soup. Amazing flavor and easy to make. I didn’t have smoked paprika so I used chipotle chili powder instead. Still turned out perfectly.

I was surprised how good this was. You don’t need the tablespoon of flour at all. It’s creamy enough. You can adjust the broth to make it thinner or thicker as you like. I used sharp cheddar because that’s what I had. Because it wasn’t smoked, I added extra smoked (hot) Spanish paprika. It was a good taste. The addition of a little white vinegar at the end is a good touch. In heavy soups it brightens up the taste. I drizzled a little EVOO on top and some crumbled fried Serrano ham to carry through the Spanish theme.

Very good, I simmered my broccoli for more like 20 minutes. I pretty much doubled all the spices. It was a little bland for my taste.

this is delicious, i just finished a bowl!! i only made 2 changes, i omitted the croutons and i pureed all of the broccoli. i wasn't a fan of the chunky florets in the soup. it's amazing to get such a creamy consistency without using cream! the cheese and bit of flour do that nicely. i will most definately make this again.

This recipe was pretty good. I really liked the croutons.

This is the first time I have tried this recipe and it was quite good. The only changes I made were using white wine in place of the vinegar and no croutons. My husband loved it also. It will be saved to my favorites for sure.

I didn,t use the croutons but it was great just the same. I don't have an immersion blender and put too much in my Ninja. It went everywhere! I salvaged what was left and it was smooth, creamy and delicious. I had been looking for a good Broccoli Soup recipe and this is a keeper. Thank you for sharing it.

The first time I made this soup, I followed the recipe exactly. It was DELICIOUS!. My granddaughter, a picky eater, asked for seconds and thirds. The next time I made it I didn't have enough broccoli but did have some cauliflower, so I mixed the two and used Apple smoked cheddar cheese. It was just as big a hit with the family.

This soup is fabulous! Great flavor and a silky texture. I will definitely make this again.

This was great! The only thing I did different was use the Better Than Boullion broth. I skipped the croutons.

My Dutch husband, lover of cheese, really liked it. We had to use a different smoked cheese here in South Africa but right afterwards I did find a smoked Gouda of course. I didn't make the croutons but it was good without it. I thought it needed a bit more smoked paprika that I added at the end and tasted better the second day. My smoked paprika might need replacing as I think about it and that might help, also.

Totally would make again the cheese was balanced
