Potato Broccoli Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 5 medium red potatoes, chopped
  • 2 small/medium heads broccoli (chop the thick broccoli stems, and cut the tops into small florets)
  • 1 white or yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 C. Swanson Chicken Broth
  • 1 C. whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp. salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 C. grated cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions:

  1. Heat a large soup pot to medium heat. Swirl olive oil and butter gently to coat the bottom of the pot. Saute onions for about 3 minutes, then add potatoes and the broccoli stems. Saute another 5-7 minutes. Add chicken broth, milk, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover with lid and simmer until the vegetables are tender.
  2. In batches (be sure the soup isn’t too hot for the blender), pulse the soup in a blender a few times (you can leave some chunks in it if you want to). Return soup to pot and bring to a simmer. Add small broccoli florets and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir 1/4 C. of the grated cheese into the soup. Use the remaining 1/4 C. of cheese to garnish the bowls of soup.
