This soup was absolutely phenomenal! I have been using Allrecipes for several months, and I have found many recipes that were very good, but this is the first review I have made. I made it today as a starter for a Sweetest Day meal with my boyfriend, and he was simply blown away. All through dinner, he commented on how it was the best soup he had ever tasted. I read most of the reviews on here, and I did tweak a few things when I made it. I doubled the cheese and broccoli, and I added a clove of garlic to the onions when I cooked them in butter. It was sooo easy, and definitely a soup that will become a staple at my home. Thanks for the recipe, Karin!
I don't usually review recipes, but I just HAD to review this one. As a devoted customer of Olive Garden, I was skeptical when I made this... so many people had reviewed it, saying that it was as good as Olive Garden. Now I love that stuff--I get alfredo dipping sauce for the breadsticks, & I get fettucine alfredo as my meal! But honestly, this alfredo is just as good, or even better. I made it for my mother, & she liked it so much that she begged me to make another batch of it for her the very same day! It truly is a wonderful recipe, & I will be using it a lot. One note: when making it, make sure that you stir in the cheese slowly, and also make sure that you whisk it while you do so. Basically, after you add the cream and it begins to simmer, you will need to whisk it every few seconds for the rest of the time it is cooking. Otherwise, it will separate. It is a very good, easy recipe-- a real treat for busy women! :)
