"Delicious! I doubled the streusel and icing and baked it in a bundt pan-- so I put streusel in first, then batter then streusel then batter. It makes a wonderful presentation. I also added almond extract to the icing and used water instead of maple syrup for the icing. Have made it several times, playing with the icing flavors.

"I really liked this soup. I doubled the recipe and used 2 cups regular half and half and 2 cups of fat free half and half and used only 6 cups of broccoli. I did use the bay leaves and dried ground nutmeg and think the flavor is pretty close to Panera's. I used my blender on "chop" literally for only 2 or 3 seconds for each batch, it's definitely kind of chunky but not grainy. I didn't need to thin it out at the end as some other reviewers commented. I hope it reheats OK as I am planning to serve it for dinner with salad again in 2 days. Am also planning to freeze a quart. will try to remember to come back and update this review after eating the frozen servings.
