Remarks of Creamy Broccoli Soup:

When preparing broccoli, boil it for 2 to 3 minutes. Boiling broccoli longer than this can result in a drastic reduction of nutritional value. In particular water soluble vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C get drawn out of the broccoli into the broth it makes.
