Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 11/16/2018 THANK YOU!! I would have never thought of putting rolled oats in my soup. And, another THANK YOU for using the stalks! I have always used left over mashed potatoes to thicken but, as I use soy products the flavor is altered. Your recipe is now on next weeks menu and shopping list! On more time, THANK YOU!!!raf Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/12/2015 love this recipe, i added a grated garlic clove and instead of chicken broth i used meat broth because i didn't have any . I think this recipe can perfectly serve 5 persons. Perfect winter soup Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/10/2012 I first made this soup a couple of years ago. Both my boys love it! I use it as a sauce for pasta as well. Perhaps the other people used too many oats. Big thumbs up from my 3year old and my 7 year old! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/14/2012 This recipe was awful. I added two blocks of cheddar cheese and still all it tasted like was oats! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/13/2011 I went to make this last night and was unable to find the nutmeg so to give it some flavor I added minced garlic, paprika, chili powder, and red pepper flakes. Turned out delicious! My boyfriend, who doesn't care for broccoli, enjoyed it because it had a bit of a kick to it. I also added shredded carrots that I had for the salad with had with the meal. Thought it added a nice color to the soup. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/03/2011 I cooked it the other day, and even my fussy brother liked it Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/19/2011 Wow, I'm really surprised at how well this turned out! Frankly, I didn't expect to like it. But the oatmeal really does work as a thickener and gives the soup a nice color. It's very mild, so there needs to be some spice or strong flavors in the rest of the meal. Overall, though, it's quick, nutritious, and pleasant. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/12/2011 I made this soup last night and it was delicious. I did sprinkle a little bit of shredded cheese on top before I ate it. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 05/19/2010 The soup was great. I think I would add a bit less liquid next time to make it a bit thicker. Also, diets don't work. Only a change in lifestyle will help you to lose weight and keep it off - and restricting broccoli and onions (the only two things on this ingredient list that likely won't come with nutrition labels) is not a recipe for a healthy lifestyle. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/02/2010 Change out the chicken broth for vegetable broth and you have a vegan soup! Easy and delicious! You can't beat creaminess without the cream!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 05/23/2008 This soup was very easy to make. I found it to be very bland for my familys taste. I added minced garlic while the onions were cooking Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 05/13/2008 This is a good soup. I added a little cayenne and garlic powder just to liven it up. As far as the nutritional info goes - yes, it is nice to have it included but we are all better off if we learn to know what is good for us rather than to depend on something printed on a label. There have been several cases of misinformation printed on labels. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/07/2008 Pretty awesome! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/23/2008 I agree with the last comment. Do we have to be told everything...can't we think for ourselves anymore.? Good grief people. I for one have better things to do with my time than make nasty comments about what numbers are lacking in a great recipe. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/22/2008 Oh Lazy, Lazy people! We Americans always want someone ELSE to do it! We all need to LEARN the food value of what goes into our mouths! DON"T DO IT, EDF!! Leave out the little numbers at the bottom of your recipes. Everyone should be able to read a recipe and KNOW that Broccoli is good for you, that oatmeal helps reduce cholesterol and is a GOOD fiber, that reduced sodium chicken broth is also GOOD, Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/22/2008 Can't you determine the nutritional values by reading the labels from your broth, etc.? The values are going change anyway if you make substitutes for the ingredients that are listed. I find the nutritional info most helpful when I'm buying things to stock my pantry. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/21/2008 I, too, agree that nutritional info should be on every recipe! If the authors ran it and put it on, that would save all of us from doing it--what a pain. I want to know what's I'm eating before I make it because, aren't we all on some kind of "diet", either for calories and fat or need fiber content, etc. Wake up, MSL! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/21/2008 Okinee - I was just going to write a similar complaint. I won't even try the recipes on the site or in the Everyday Foods or the MSL magazine because they lack nutritional info. I'm on a diet and hey, I'm working too hard to risk it on a "treat!" It's so frustrating because I am a long-time MSL fan and am finding myself drifting farther and farther away just because of this one stupid thing! I think before you guys add a new "service" you need to give a little our way! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/21/2008 don't know why my post cut off - also 10.5g protein per serving. This may vary depending on the ingredients you use. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/21/2008 okinee - based on info at calorieking.com, this has about 1.2g fat, 19g carb (mostly fiber), 2g sugar, Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/20/2008 I am a juvenile diabetic and so is my son. This recipe LOOKS great, but I can't even try it because you always FAIL to give the nutritional info with the carb content. How about getting into the 21st century and including nutrition info wiith the recipes!!!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/20/2008 this is wonderful soup! it is much lighter than a creamy soup made with cheese or milk. i also used veg broth, an easy and effective substitute. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/20/2008 Never thought of using oatmeal instead of milk to make creamy broccoli soup. I am a vegetarian so I will use a vegetiable broth insead of the chicken broth Arlene Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/20/2008 I used instant potato flakes in the past and it was tasty. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/19/2008 Never thought of using oatmeal to thicken a soup. Will try this, but I'll use my stick blender instead.Martha Stewart Member
