This soup has little to it and doesn't take a ton of work, but has really well-developed flavor and is as close as you can get to a real classic soup. I used fresh broccoli for this, but you can use frozen as well. I wouldn't cook it quite as long as the potatoes/onions, though. Frozen tends to take less time.
