This soup is also good chunky. If you prefer it chunky, just chop the vegetables a little finer than you need to when you're planning to puree them for a smoother soup. For a pale cream-coloured soup, use cauliflower instead of broccoli. I include 1/2 cup of evaporated skim milk and 1/2 teaspoon thyme which the original recipe did not call for the original called for 3 cups water and 1 chicken bouillon cube/packet.
