Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I made this for dinner tonight... It sure has a beautiful green color. I didn't cook the broccoli but 6-7 minutes though, because I wanted it to retain it's pretty green color...... Delicious flavor. Thanks Donna!

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hey Judy, That's great news. Isn't it the prefect name for this soup? I try to pick them to match.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yes it is the perfect name for it...... Smile. I have a Vita-Mix and it really whipped this up to a very creamy texture. Hard to believe there is no dairy in it. Judy - Donnalilacflower Monday, February 18, 2008 6:57 PM Re: Green Velvet Soup -Recipe Review Hey Judy, That's great news.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 One of my daughters said that the color looks like something that would be in a cartoon... LOL It is a very pretty bright green. Both of my daughters enjoyed it. Hubby came home craving homemade pizza, so one of the girls made that for him.......
