FAQ's

Most of the time, this is related to the heating process with the cream when added. If you heat cream too quickly, it can actually curdle and leave your soup grainy or textured, which is not the most pleasant.

Q: Why does my Broccoli Cheddar Soup taste grainy?

Q: How do you make Broccoli soft but not mushy?

The best way to make broccoli without getting too mushy is to cook it until it is just fork-tender before serving it.
