Don’t like this one. Didn’t even try to cook it, that’s why I gave it the three stars, because that’s on me, not the dish, and I take responsibility for that. I spent hours trying to figure out what I didn’t like about it. Was it the tiny wisps of broccoli mocking me from beneath the cheddar stock? The steam from the kitchen that made me clean my glasses, only to realize it was the image and not my wonderful frames, making me feel embarrassed and ashamed? Or was it the metric measurements that I never learned due to being born and raised in a small farm in the Midwest of the United States, leaving me scared and confused? No. It was none of those. Not even sure why I mentioned them. It was the fact that I don’t know how to cook and refuse to learn. So I won’t be cooking this, thank you very much, but that’s on me, and I’ll take responsibility. I’ll raise it to four stars because the game’s on and I’ve gotta go.
Hi Matthew! Don’t give up man! I started the 80 recipes challenge cause I didn’t know how to cook and it scared me. The fact you already tried, is already a sign you can do it! Remember, the broccolis are more scared of you than you are of them! If you need some coaching which cooking, feel free to reach out to me!
Better than any Campbell soup. It would probably a 5 star but wanted to use frozen Canadian broccoli since we dont want to buy any vegetable from the US since their president want to use tarif to convert us into United States resident. My husband didn’t go to Afghanistan to be enslave by our racist neighbor.
Sorry for the statement I already feel better and this soup was so warm for my heart.
From Patricia and Jean-Claude who will never be US resident
Thanks for the review Patricia. I would like to thank your husband for his services in the army and for standing for local produces.
This recipe would be a 5 ⭐️ if I was a fan of veggies.
