The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook

Another winner from ATK! I'm not even the biggest broccoli lover, and I couldn't get enough of this soup. Thanks to the addition of baking soda, the broccoli stays nice and green, and doesn't impart that sulfur flavor that I've noticed with other recipes. The end result is a gorgeous, healthful, delicious soup that's a perfect treat on a cold day.

This was great and something that can be made any season since it calls for canned tomatoes. I used 1 can of San Marzanos and 1 of Hunt's with basil. I only used 1 Tbs of brown sugar instead of the 1.5 called for, because I do not like overly sweet soup, and the 1 Tbs suited my taste perfectly. I also subbed half & half for the heavy cream since that's what I had in my fridge. I liked the splash of brandy and cayenne pepper at the end.
