Potato & Broccoli Cheese Soup
Sounds good. I like a good broccoli and cheese soup, the potatoes sound like a good addition.
Ingredients
- 3 cups chicken broth, fresh or from powder
- 1-2 large carrots, diced
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 small heads broccoli, chopped small plus stem
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 3 1/2 - 4 cups milk
- 4 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic pepper
- 6 slices bacon, chopped and cooked crispy
Instructions
- In a large pot, add the broth, carrots, potatoes, and onion powder. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, cook for about 10 minutes.
- While that is cooking, prep the broccoli, at 10 minutes, add that and cook for another 10 minutes.
- While the soup is cooking, heat a medium pot and melt the butter, whisk in the flour and cook for a minute or two, always whisking, until the mixture is golden brown. Then whisk in the milk and whisk and cook for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Add the cheese and stir until mixed in and melted, add the salt and garlic pepper. Pour the cheese sauce into the soup, stir while doing this. Mix well.
- Ass more milk to thin for a thinner soup. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your liking.
- Serve bowls topped with the bacon.
