Of course I kinda skimmed another recipe I had in a book but made it my own which is what you see below! Super easy & my favorite, a one pot meal! Enjoy!
POTATO BROCCOLI & CHEESE SOUP
Ingredients:
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 celery stocks, chopped finely
- 2lbs of potatoes - I used small gold potatoes, skinned and chopped
- 3 cups of stock - I use veggie
- 1 cup of water
- 2 cups of half and half
- 2-3 cups of broccoli - I used frozen broccoli
- 1 cup of chedder cheese, shredded
- salt & pepper - I also add a handful of Rosemary. Rosemary and potatoes are heavenly!
- green onion, chopped, optional
Directions:
- In a large pot, saute the onions and celery until clear.
- Add potatoes, stock, water, and half and half. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low-medium and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- While the potatoes are simmering, pour broccoli into a microwave safe dish, add 3 teaspoons of water, cover with plastic wrap and heat for 3 minutes and drain the water.
- Once potatoes become softer, add the broccoli, slightly mash. They will still be very clumpy, you will be blending them so they don't need to be completely mashed.
- Transfer the soup into a blender or use a handblender in the pot to blend the soup to your favored consistancy. I like mostly blended but a few chunks of potato.
- Transfer the soup back into the pot and/or continue to simmer for 10 more minutes while adding the cheese until melted.
- Add the spices to your liking. I add some chopped green onions as well and enjoy!!
