Provided by Gina

Categories     Lunch     Soup

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 small onion (chopped)
1 medium carrot (chopped)
1 celery stalk (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour (AP, whole wheat or gluten-free flour)
2 1/2 cups less sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
1 cup fat free milk
2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced small)
1/4 tsp kosher salt and fresh pepper
4 cups about 2 heads broccoli florets, chopped into small pieces
1-1/2 cups reduced fat shredded sharp cheddar
2 slices 2% American cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Chop onion, carrot, celery, garlic in a chopper or mini food processor.
  • In a large soup pot, melt butter. Add chopped vegetables and sauté on low heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add flour, salt and pepper to the pot and stir until smooth.
  • Add chicken broth, milk and potatoes and set heat to high until it comes to a boil, then cover and cook on low until potatoes are soft, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Add broccoli florets, Parmesan cheese, and stir well. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Cook uncovered until broccoli is cooked, about 5 minutes.
  • Add cheddar and American cheese, stir well and remove from heat.
  • Using an immersion blender quickly blend part of the soup for a quick second or two. If you don't have an immersion blender, remove about 1-2 cups of potatoes and broccoli, place it in your chopper, then add it back to the soup. This helps thicken it a bit.

CREAMY BROCCOLI POTATO SOUP



Creamy Broccoli Potato Soup image

This broccoli potato soup is intensely creamy and 100% plant based! It's an easy healthy soup that everyone loves (plus it's vegan and gluten free).

Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Main Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large yellow onion
3 garlic cloves
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (about 6 medium)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 quart vegetable broth
1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 pound frozen broccoli florets (or 4 cups small steamed broccoli florets*)
1 large carrot
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon dried dill
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Dice the onion. Mince the garlic. Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the vegetable broth, cashews and potatoes and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer (not a boil), and simmer about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and falling apart when poked with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, run the frozen broccoli under hot water to thaw it. Chop it into smaller florets as necessary. All packages are different, so make small bite-sized florets the size you'd like for a soup. You can chop the broccoli stems off and keep them in the soup as well. Place the broccoli in a bowl and mix it with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Peel and grate the carrot into long strips (we used a handheld julienne shredder).
  • When the potatoes are tender, use a ladle to transfer everything to a blender. Add the thyme, dill, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard and another 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Hold the top tight and blend everything for a minute or two until fully creamy. (This quantity just fits in a standard blender.)
  • Pour the creamy soup back into the pot and add the broccoli and carrot. Simmer about 5 more minutes until the broccoli is cooked through. Taste and add additional salt as necessary (we added 1/4 teaspoon more).

CREAMY BROCCOLI AND POTATO CHOWDER



Creamy Broccoli and Potato Chowder image

If you crave comfort food you'll love this soup. So creamy and good! Serve with crackers or bread.

Provided by melissa harris

Categories     Chowders

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 medium potatoes-diced
1 small yellow onion- diced
1 can(s) evaporated milk
water
1 c broccoli florets
4 slice cooked bacon- crumbled
1 c fat free half and half
4 oz reduced fat cream cheese- cubed
1 can(s) campbell's broccoli cheese soup
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
4 medium scallions- diced

Steps:

  • 1. In dutch oven; add diced pototoes, onion and evaporated milk. Add just enough water to completely cover potatoes. Bring to a boil stirring constantly until potatoes are tender. Reduce heat to medium and add broccoli. Continue cooking until broccoli is crisp tender.
  • 2. Meanwhile, cook bacon and drain on paper towel. Crumble and add to pototoes. (I have also used left over diced ham)
  • 3. Add cream cheese and stir until completely melted into soup. Add half & half and broccoli cheese soup (undiluted). Continue stirring over medium heat until all ingredients are well incorporated and soup has thickened. Feel free to add more half & half to your disired consistency; as some of the liquid may evaporate during the cooking process.
  • 4. Remove from heat. Top with shredded cheese and scallions. Add salt and pepper to taste! Important note: By adding the soup and cream last keeps this soup from scalding on the bottom while potatoes are cooking.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can puree the soup in a regular blender in batches.
  • Garnish the soup with chopped fresh parsley or chives before serving.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This creamy broccoli and potato chowder is a delicious and comforting soup that's perfect for a cold day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try.
