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.

This chowder was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was good. I would make it again, but I would reduce the amount of salt I added.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but this chowder was actually really good. The broccoli was cooked perfectly and the soup was creamy and flavorful.

This chowder was bland and the potatoes were undercooked.

This chowder was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the potatoes were undercooked. I probably won't make it again.

I've made this chowder several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love that I can use frozen broccoli and potatoes, so it's a great way to use up leftovers.
