Cheesy Broccoli Potato Soup

Posted by on Sunday, January 1st, 2012

Broccoli-Cheese-Soup[1]Cheesy Broccoli Potato Soup is a hearty crowd pleaser. I recently prepared this soup for a teacher luncheon and it got rave reviews.  Kids love it, girlfriends love it, and it’s hearty enough to satisfy the males in my life in spite of the fact that it is a meatless soup.   It’s perfect to serve on a snow day.  And it is comforting to serve it to a family memeber suffering from a cold.  It can also be frozen and it reheats well in the microwave.  And sometimes, I’ve even served it over baked potatoes as a tasty topping.  What more could one ask from a soup?

  • 1 large sweet yellow onion – peeled and diced
  • 3-4 stalks celery – chopped fine
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cups water
  • 6 chicken bullion cubes
  • 6 medium potatoes – peeled and diced
  • 1 head broccoli florets or 1 bag frozen broccoli florets
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can cream of celery soup
  • 1 pound Velveeta cheese – cubed
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese for garnish

Sauté onions and celery over medium heat in large stock pot.  Add the 6 cups water and heat until water begins to boil.  Add bullion cubes, diced potatoes, and broccoli florets.  Reduce heat to a low boil and cook for 1-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.  Add the cans of soup and stir until well blended.  Reduce heat to low then add the Velveeta cheese cubes.  Stir frequently until cheese melts then serve right away.   Add salt and pepper to suit your own taste.  Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese.

    Used 2 C of chicken & 4 C water cause no cubes, and my onion was little so I chopped up a couple of leeks and I ended up creaming several cups of the “vegie soup” in the blender because I didn’t chop small enough THAT SAID..the soup was WONDERFUL!! And maybe on the fatty side but nutritious with lots of vegies (I also added some cauliflower and carrots).
    Thanks for the inspiration.

    Tara,

    I love this soup. It’s been a while since I made it and I can’t find the recipe I printed out. It’s so nice to know, all I have to do is go to Taracooks.com to get the recipe again and again no matter where I am. I’m so glad your website is always here!!

    I’m making this soup for tomorrow.
