BROCCOLI CHEESE (SWISS) SOUP - RACHAEL RAY
Please note: This recipe calls for 10 oz small yellow-fleshed potatoes (like Yukon Gold or similar). FYI, this is approx. 2 small potatoes. (It was difficult to write this out in the recipe, so i just decided to note it here.) This is a nice, filling soup that is easy to make. When I made this, I subbed about half the water with leftover chicken broth. However, I'm sure it tastes just as good (w/out the broth). This is part of a "two-for" recipe, which originally included a recipe for Ham-and-Swiss Toasts (for serving alongside) for a complete meal idea. I have posted the Ham and Swiss Toasts separately.

Tips:
- Prep Your Ingredients: Chop your vegetables and measure out your spices before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
- Use Good Quality Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Look for vegetables that are crisp and brightly colored, and use fresh herbs if possible.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: You want the vegetables in your soup to be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a Good Stock: The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Use a homemade stock if you have it, or look for a low-sodium store-bought stock.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to taste your soup as you're cooking and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to get the perfect flavor.
- Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: You can enjoy broccoli soup on its own or with a variety of toppings. Some popular choices include croutons, shredded cheese, and sour cream.
