In addition to broccoli, the main ingredient in this soup, it also includes potatoes. They add a richer yet creamier texture to the soup. Boil the potatoes in chicken broth with onion and garlic, then add the broccoli a couple of minutes before it's done. Puree the finished soup in a blender and add the cream. The richer the cream, the smoother and creamier the soup will be. Toppings like grated cheese or crispy bacon bits will add a vibrant flavor.
