I knew SP was skeptical about this meal, but it ended up tasting amazing. He had two bowls for dinner and would have had more if he wasn't eyeing up the last few brownies from earlier in the week. The soup had great broccoli flavor from the 1 1/2 pounds the recipe called for and it was nice and cheesey, with a slight kick from the cayenne pepper. Instead of lugging out the blender I used my immersion blender. Most of the soup ended up creamy and smooth, but there were some bits of broccoli that didn't get blended and those added a nice contrast.
I had planned to buy a baguette at the supermarket but it slipped my mind. As I was reheating the soup I was watching Rachael Ray make cheesey English muffins to go with a big pot of soup, so I defrosted two muffins, seperated and buttered them and topped them with some grated Pecorino. They were the perfect compliment to the soup.
