Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 large carrot, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half and half
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 cups broccoli florets (from about 1 head)
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large russet potato (about 8 ounces)
8 ounces mild yellow Cheddar, shredded (about 2 cups), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes, then gradually whisk in the half-and-half until smooth. Add the chicken broth, broccoli, bay leaves, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and few grinds of black pepper Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the broth has thickened and the broccoli is very tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prick the potato all over with a fork and put on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until tender, flipping halfway through, about 6 minutes. Let cool, then peel. Use a fork or potato masher to mash until crumbly.
  • Reserve 2 cups of the soup in a liquid measuring cup and discard the bay leaves. Let the remaining hot soup cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Add the mashed potato. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until very smooth.
  • Stir the pureed soup and reserved 2 cups of soup back into the pot. Whisk in the cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into serving bowls and top with more shredded Cheddar.

VERY CHEESY CHICKEN BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP



Very Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Cheese Soup image

I loved this recipe, it was so good. I did use fresh broccoli and steamed it until crispy soft. I didn't use as many potatoes, about 1 1/2 cups, I used about 1/2 cup carrots and added sliced mushrooms & chopped cooked chicken. I don't usually use/like recipes with canned soup or Velveeta BUT this was great. I gave some to my neighbor who only makes homemade scratch soups (as well as I) and she just loved it. I don't remember where I found this recipe but when I did it sounded so good that I printed it out. So glad I did. LOL

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 cups diced potatoes
1 (8 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets
2 cups carrots (optional)
1 cup chopped onion (optional)
2 (10 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
1 (10 ounce) can milk (cream of chicken can)
1 (1 1/2 lb) Velveeta cheese

Steps:

  • Dice the potatoes, chop carrots and onion into small pieces. Dice the Velveeta into small cubes and store in the fridge.
  • Pour 4 cups of water and 1-2 chicken bouillon cubes into a large pot, bring to a boil. Add potatoes, carrots & onions. After about 10+ minutes (original recipe said about 5 minutes, but the broccoli disintegrates if you put it in too soon) add the box/bag of broccoli.
  • Cook about 15 minutes or until the veggies are done.
  • Add the cream of chicken soup and one soup can of milk.
  • Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes.
  • Slowly add the Velveeta cubes while stirring.
  • Cook, stirring often, until all cheese is melted (try not to scrape the bottom of the pan with your spoon as the bottom sometimes has a layer of browned soup, if you scrape it off you will get chewy brown bits in your soup!) Note: This is when I like to add my cooked chicken, mushroom and steamed broccoli.
  • Serve with Italian bread for dipping. This soup is so thick and rich, you really don't need any side dishes, but I usually serve it with a salad.
  • Leftover soup can be frozen or refrigerated.
  • ENJOY!
