It's not cream of broccoli, but it is good soup.

4 oz. cream cheese
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup water
2 cubs chicken broth
Pepper to taste
4 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
Combine Broccoli, cream cheese, heavy cream & 1/4 cup water in food
processor. Blend until smooth. Transfer mixture
to pot add bouillon, pepper and rest of water. Simmer over medium heat. Add
cheddar & stir until melted.

That sounds good. I just got a bargain on broccoli at Walmart and will give it
a try!

I don't have a recipe per se,but I'll tell you how I make creamed soups.I
don't write down amounts;use common sense and taste.
Saute some chopped onion and garlic in oil in your soup pot.If I'm making
cream of mushroom,I add them at the same time.If I'm using chopped celery or
other vegs that take longer,I start them first.Saute until the onions start to
turn clear.
Cut the brocoli florets into bite-size pieces.If you want to use the
stalk,peel the tough part of the skin off.You don't want the stringy unchewable
part.
Because of the size of the broccoli pieces,I wouldn't bother trying to saute
them.It would take too much oil.
Add the brocolli and a lot of chicken broth.Add your favorite seasonings.Bring
to a boil and simmer on very low heat for 45 minutes.
For a creamier texture,take out 1/3 of the broccoli with some of the broth and
put it in a blender or food processor.
Add it back in,and add cream to taste.It doesn't take that much.
It's soup.

Whenever I want a cream soup... i use chicken stock, a bit of cream and
silken tofo blended together...it makes the soup creamier and thicker.
can't taste the tofu -- it just gives the soup the extra body.
