Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter or 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 -2 teaspoon minced garlic, from a jar or 1 -2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 pinch dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 (10 ounce) boxes frozen cut broccoli in cheese sauce, thawed
4 cups homemade chicken broth or 4 cups canned low sodium chicken broth
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes, thyme, salt, and broth and bring to a boil.
  • Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook uncovered until the potatoes are fork tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the broccoli with cheese sauce.
  • Simmer another 5-10 minutes.
  • Puree the soup in batches in a blender or with an immersion blender.
  • I like mine a little bit more chunky so I use
  • a potato masher to smash the broccoli and potatoes leaving some texture in the soup.
  • Bring to a simmer, taste, and season with salt
  • and pepper.
  • Enjoy!
