Yes, I have, Soo
We are hanging fire on the skin, hair , nail & weight problems until the optimum dose of MTX is established.

Irritating, but not life-threatening.
My lovely GP is pregnant again, so I am going to see her again before she waddles orff…

Not life-threatening, as you say, Carinthia, but quite wearing, I’d imagine. Gentle hugs. You’ll miss your GP.

Calling any broccoli-haters in the Cellar. Roll up, roll up for yer lovely steaming bowls of broccoli soup. Made by me own fair hands. Wiv broccoli. And which tastes of - nothing at all. Not even broccoli. Especially not broccoli.
Salt?
If that doesn’t work, more salt?
No Stilton to hand, Gus? How disappointing! I usually lurves broccoli.

None. Nor feta neither. That can be rectified, of course, before the next dose.
Tried that ;- )
A stock cube stirred in?
ye-es, but then there’s the danger it would be tasting of stock cube mainly. Will zizz it up with some cheese next time round.
Scorched broccoli is gorgeous, btw. Or roast, I suppose.
Some Chinese 5 Spice powder may ‘lift’ it, Gus
It works on a surprising number of things

Possibly - although I would always fight shy of unfried spice - but not the direction I want to take it. Five spice is excellent in its place, but I feel my failed broccoli soup is not that. Lemon juice is also a great ‘lifter’, I find.

Bloody doctors, getting pregnant. You’d think they 'd have more sense…
I suppose that a bit of acidic flavour is needed, Gus.

Me Chicken & Mushroom Soup had half a teaspoon of 5 Spice innit, anna good slug of Mushroom Fetchup & worked well
I use lemons every day at Carinthia Towers, but find that limes don’t keep as nicely

Guses seldom need extra acid,Soo. We has special Glands.
A sausage sandwich is being had. It doesn’t taste of broccoli but it does of sosidge. This, I feel, is a Result.

Replying to your soupy needs, but with little knowledge at all, Gus…I think that umami flavour is that which your broccoli soup may lack. Soy sauce or Parmesan cheese might w#rk, although I favour Grana padano. Flat acid flavour wouldn’t do for me.
Special Acid Glands? Who knew 
Soo xx
A spot - talking teaspoonsful here - of lemon juice can lift without a flat acid flavour in many situations.
Broccoli soup, my one anyway, isn’t designed to be all umami at one. But tasting of its main constituent would be graceful of it. It normally does.
The oven fan - I have bread in - is making Alarming Noises now. I shoulda stood in bed, quite frankly.
I’m a bit concerned as to the intentions of That Oven.
Yer bee’s off to bed. Best dreams,
