Cream of broccoli soup is a soup prepared with broccoli, stock, and milk or cream as primary ingredients. Ingredient variations exist, as do vegan versions. It is also a commercially, mass-produced soup, often sold in cans. Several recipes use canned cream of broccoli soup as an ingredient, [1] such as its use with cooked chicken dishes and as a sauce. [2]
Primary ingredients are broccoli, stock and milk or cream. [3] [4] [5] The broccoli used may be chopped, sliced into small florets or puréed, [5] [6] [7] [8] and some preparations combine both chopped and pureed broccoli. [8] Some versions may use frozen broccoli, [9] and the soup may be thickened using a roux. [10] Additional ingredients may include onion, celery, chicken broth, half and half, [4] egg yolk, herbs such as parsley, thyme and bay leaf, salt, pepper [3] and others. It is sometimes served garnished with croutons or broccoli florets. [3] [5]
Mass-produced commercial varieties of cream of broccoli soup are produced by various food manufacturers, such as the Campbell Soup Company, which debuted the soup in 1990. [1] [2] [11] The Campbell Soup Company devised it to be used as a soup and as an ingredient to be used in other dishes. [12] During the time of its debut in 1990, The Campbell Soup Company published a booklet of broccoli dishes that are prepared using their canned cream of broccoli soup, which was offered free to consumers through the provision of a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the company. [12] Some of the dishes in the booklet included "Easy broccoli bake" and "Two-step chicken broccoli divan". [12] After this soup's debut, the company devised and marketed additional cream of broccoli-style soups, such as broccoli cheese soup, chunky chicken broccoli cheese soup and cream of chicken and broccoli soup.
