Potato and Broccoli Soup
On tonight’s menu I had planned to make this Potato Soup, of course I made a few changes.
What I used:
- 10 small potatoes
- 1/4 cup real butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 4 cups Skim milk
- pepper and garlic powder to taste
- 2 Cups medium Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Cups Water
- 1 bag frozen broccoli
Directions
Peel, cube, boil, drain and “mush” potatoes to the consistency you like. In separate pan, melt butter, add flour and cook while stirring for about a minute or so. Add half the milk and stir until lumps are out of flour mixture. Add remaining milk and on med-high heat, heat to a boil. Stir almost constantly or it will scorch. After boiling, turn heat down and add remaining ingredients. I cooked on very low until all the cheese was melted and everything was nice and creamy.
I reduced the milk and added more cheese. It came out fabulous and not too cheesy. I actually started with 1 cup of cheese but it just didn’t do it. I decided to add in a bag of frozen broccoli and it worked great.
Everyone loved this including my picky Jonah. Hubby and both of the girls had 2 bowls each. It was perfect on this cold snowy day.

Yummy! My family loves homemade potato soup. Adding the bag of broccoli is a great change. I use Velveeta cheese with ours because it is so much creamier when it melts, but the cheddar definitely has a sharper, delicious taste. Great meal for these chilly winter days. Thanks for the inspiration!

Julie, I think this would be a great soup to add in some of those veggies that don’t get eaten enough. I am already thinking about steamed and mashed cauliflower or shredded carrot.

We love potato soup and I like that this has broccoli. Was it rich enough with the skim milk?
Mmmmm…. looks wonderful. And we’re having just the perfect weather to pair with a pot of good hot soup!
