Cream of Broccoli Soup

What do you do with over cooked  broccoli? Of course you make cream of broccoli soup. It's a way to save food that would be too gross to eat , or would wind up in the trash. Serve it hot with grill cheese fingers, and avocado slices, crispy bacon.

I prefer my broccoli cooked more on the crispy side. My husband Toby asked me to cook his broccoli more, and this was the results. Over cooked broccoli..
