i'm pretty sure this is my most favorite soup. ever.
my dad's cream of broccoli soup.
i loved when dad would make it while i was growing up.
now i get to make it myself.
and i make it a lot now that soup season is here :)
i don't mind one bit!  (neither does dave, i think it's one of his favorites too.)

Mmmm this looks super yummy! I made a broccoli cheese soup last year that John went crazy for. He'd never had any kind of broccoli soup ever in his life. Poor deprived man. haha. This one looks way easier than what I made, I think I may give this a try! :)
