I've never seen any canned broccoli soup, in fact I've never seen canned broccoli. Check ALL the brands of canned soups; Campbells, Progresso, etc., NONE contain broccoli. And I happen to like broccoli but not as/in a soup. Broccoli is good stir fried, with chicken and Chinese veggies. I imagine cream of broccoli is annalogous to puke. My favorite way to eat broccoli is raw, flowerettes in a tossed salad... I much prefer broccoli raw rather than cooked. I don't think broccoli is meant to e cooked, I like the pared stems raw with a blue cheese dressing dip. Thomas probably thinks English muffins is food, NOT! |

There are times of the year, or maybe it is specific cultivars that are not as good. It is important to barely cook it. Broccoli is one of those veggies that develops a nastiness when over cooked. |

FWIW, when my son was little we got him to eat broccoli by calling it Hulk trees. It became his favourite vegetable. That being said, I only like it if it is just slightly cooked. I can get it down if it is overcooked, but I don't enjoy it much. |

One large baked potato, slit down the middle, steamed broccoli in the space and melted cheese over all. Delicious. |

One of my favorite ways is to set a big pot of robust long or ribbon
pasta (linguini, mezzanelli, mafaldine) a-boiling; a couple of minutes before it's done throw the broccoli florets into the pot. Drain and douse with heavily-garlicked cream, butter, nutmeg, and pepper. Thin out with pasta water if necessary.Grated parmesan/romano is optional. Yum. -- Bob St Francis would have done better to preach to the cats |

Although I prefer broccoli roasted, grilled, or stir-fried, I generally settle for microwaving it. Briefly. I'd guess that I most frequently top it with soy sauce and sesame oil. I can't remember the last time I buttered it. Most recently, though, I dumped Turkey Divan on top of barely-cooked broccoli. In a month or two when Christmas calories have receded into faint memory, I'll make scalloped potatoes with broccoli and let that sauce flavor the broccoli. Cindy Hamilton |

Just trim off a smidge from the bottom and as close to the florets as you like and you have an instant snack. I also like the core from a head of cabbage; another crunchy snack. |

It also works with cauliflower and swiss chard.

Uses english muffins and (gasp!) cheese. Works for me! I have 4 long loaves rising in the oven (just the light on) and made up fresh garlic butter (about 2/3 stick of butter, 2 minced cloves of garlic, mixed well and let develop).

In all fairness, I eat a fair amount of broccoli without cooking it just-so with the right cultivar. leo |

If you have plenty, bet you can't eat just one. ---------------------------------------------------- "CRABBIES" 1 stick soft butter 1 jar Kraft Old English Cheeze (it's only 5oz) (this is just spreadable mild cheddar) (you can use shredded instead) 1 1/2 tsp. mayo 1/2 tsp. garlic salt Mix together Add: 1/2 lb. crab meat (fresh, frozen or pasteurized) (please don't use canned) 6 whole English Muffins separated into halves. Spread crab meat mixture on the 12 muffin halves. Freeze them a bit on a tray to firm up then wrap and freeze. When ready to feast, let them thaw but still while cold, cut each one into 4 pieces. (this recipe makes 48 pieces) Toast in toaster oven or under stove broiler until they brown nicely. Good for a party but even better without a party so you can eat them all yourself! :-D ---------------------------------------------------- |

> Do you think Imitation Crab/lobster would work here? > > I'm willing to try if not sure. I would say to try it first time with real crab meat. About $9 lb. At least in our area, even though crabs are out of season, you can buy it pasteurized or maybe frozen. Just as good as fresh picked without all the labor. Taste the real deal first. After that you can substitute the imitation and see how that compares. It could work or maybe not. I won't guess an answer for that. |

My guess is that imitation crab would work better than the real stuff. The real stuff has too much moisture in it and is structurally questionable. Well, that's just my opinion anyway. |

I think your guess would be so wrong. Real crab meat has the better taste and there is no moisture problem with that recipe. Imitation can be good but questionable with this recipe. You should also try it both ways and report back. |

I typically won't cook with crab although, I might if they were made more available. My main experience has been with canned crab. I suppose I could go crabbing but I'd rather be doing something more worthwhile - getting my teeth pulled, for instance. My daughter makes a killer cream cheese and fake crab fried wrapped appetizer. I'm not interested in making that sort of thing. I will eat as many as she can spare though. Near as I can recall, most of the crab appetizers and sushi that I've eaten in the last decade or so have been made with fake crap. http://funnyloveblog.com/2018/06/11/...ab-poke-bowls/ |

Why are there no crabs available on the island of Hawaii? Don't they live in your waters? |
