For a richer flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of bouillon and water. A swirl of cream at the end adds an extra layer of decadence. Experiment with different cheeses like Gruyere or Parmesan for a unique twist. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. If you don't have margarine, butter or olive oil will also work well. Try roasting the broccoli before adding it to the soup for an even more intense flavour.
