Print Recipe

A warm, flavorful bowl of Broccoli Potato Soup that combines earthy potatoes, vibrant broccoli, and creamy cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) chicken broth
  • 2–3 large carrots, peeled and diced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 small heads broccoli, washed and finely diced
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • ⅓ cup flour
  • 3½ – 4 cups milk
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp garlic pepper
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped

Instructions

  1. Combine the chicken broth, diced carrots, cubed potatoes, and onion powder in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the diced broccoli to the pot, cover, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes until all vegetables are tender.
  3. Melt the butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until it turns golden brown.
  4. Gradually whisk the milk into the flour mixture, continuing to cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and garlic pepper to taste.
  6. Pour the cheese sauce into the large pot with the cooked vegetables. Stir until everything is well combined. Adjust the soup’s consistency with additional milk if desired.
  7. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm, topped with the chopped bacon pieces.

Notes

For a smoother texture, blend the soup before adding the cheese sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
