Cheesy Broccoli Potato Soup
Posted by Tara on Friday, January 29th, 2010
Our children frequently ask me to make this soup during the winter. It is one of their favorites. If a soup passes the kid test – then it’s a keeper!
- 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.

Taraon 29 Jan 2010 at 4:15 pm 2Penny I haven’t made it without the broccoli because the kids love it the way it is. But I don’t know why you couldn’t omit it, or add some carrots or snow peas or bacon and green onions!
Kathyon 30 Jan 2010 at 7:43 pm 3Used 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.
