My recommendation is yes to peeling the stalks. I always do.

if you have larger broccoli that has a thick woody skin around the outside, yes, but don't worry about it for the smaller offshoots of stem or smaller heads of broccoli that are already tender enough to just cook

Remember that the soup will be pureed, so unless the stalk has a tough 'skin,' unpeeled should be fine. I made it and had no problem -- and loved it!

Thanks. It's always nice to have another validation when something sounds delicious.

I made this soup last week and I did not peel the thicker stalks. I had no problem pureeing the soup. Enjoy!
