Description

This soup is cheesy and comforting–perfect for a snow day!

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch Broccoli, Chopped (about 12 Ounces Of Florets)
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 whole Russet Potato
  • 1 whole Yellow Onion, Diced
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • ½ teaspoons Dry Mustard
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • 3 cups Vegetable Or Chicken Broth
  • ¾ cups Whole Milk
  • 1-½ cup Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 strips Cooked Bacon, Crumbled

Preparation

Blanch your broccoli by placing it in boiling water for 30 seconds. Immediately drain and rinse it with cold water. Set aside.

In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter. Peel and chop the potato into small one inch dice. Saute both the potato and the onion in the butter for about six minutes, or until the onion starts to become translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Then, add the dry mustard, cayenne and salt. Toss to coat.

Add the flour and stir well. Pour in the broth and then add in the broccoli florets. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potato is tender. Slowly pour in the milk and add the cheese, stirring to melt.

Carefully pour the hot soup into a blender and process for 10 seconds, or just until slightly smooth with just a few chunks. Pour soup back into the pot and keep warm until serving.

Serve with crumbled bacon on top.

Thank you! This is EXACTLY what I had in mind for a lunch date with girl friends on Wednesday. I knew I wanted a potato soup but just tonight I thought “can I do a broccoli, cheese, potato soup?”. You have answered me with “yes”, and that’s my favorite answer! I’m sure I’m blogging this.

Absolutely delicious! I didn’t have any crumbled bacon on hand so I cooked some in my soup pot before everything else then cooked everything in the bacon drippings. YUM! Definitely didn’t make it any healthier but it was amazing!

Loved this! We had a chilly day for May and this was so delicious…I used 2% milk with a dash of heavy cream and colby-jack cheeses with great results. Thanks for the recipe!

This was delicious! I didn’t have any whole milk, so I used buttermilk instead and it was soooo good. Very tasty with some crusty bread!
