REAL Food Recipe - Cream Of Broccoli Soup

 

In January I made this delicious and creamy broccoli soup.  It is easy and very inexpensive to make.  It also freezes very well.

 

Cream Of Broccoli Soup 

2 medium potatoes, peeled & finely diced

1 16 oz. bag frozen chopped broccoli

½ cup onion, finely chopped

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

2 cups whole milk

Salt & pepper 

Cook potatoes, broccoli and onion in vegetable broth until vegetables are fork tender.  Remove from heat and mash potato mixture.  Stir in cheese and milk.  Return to heat and bring to a slight boil.  At this time use an immersion blender to make soup smooth and creamy.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Makes 4 to 6 servings.

 

If you don’t have a blender you can eat this soup just as it is.  It is just as delicious in a chunkier form.  But if you can blend it you may like the smoother and creamier texture.  I serve it along with a nice green salad and a piece of bread or a biscuit to complete the meal.  It also makes a great starter for any meal.
