Homemade chicken soup is one of my favorite meals. (In fact, I”m making homemade chicken stock today using a couple of rotisserie chicken carcasses.) You”re absolutely right about the addition of poultry seasoning; it adds so much flavor and fragrance to the chicken soup! But I think the addition of broccoli to the soup would throw the flavor profile out of balance. Broccoli has such a strong cabbagey taste that it tends to overwhelm the more subtle flavors of the other vegetables used in either the stock or the soup itself. That”s why it isn”t often added to vegetable soups even though vegetable soups tend to be more strongly flavored overall. I love your website and I”ve been saving some of your recipes on Pinterest to try later!
