We love a great broccoli soup and of course, a creamy potato soup is the ultimate comfort food. Together broccoli and potatoes make an amazing meal.
Ingredients :
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion diced
1 rib celery diced
1 clove garlic minced
1 pound baking potatoes peeled and diced, about 2 medium potatoes
3 cups chicken broth
3 cups broccoli florets
salt and black pepper to taste
½ cup heavy whipping cream
⅓ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions :
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion & celery. Cook until softened, 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add potatoes and chicken broth. Cover and simmer 8 minutes.
Add broccoli and cook until softened, about 5-6 minutes.
Remove 1 cup of broccoli and potatoes and slightly chop. Set aside.
Using a hand blender, blend remaining soup in the pot until smooth. Add cream and simmer 1 minute. Stir in reserved broccoli, potatoes, and cheeses.
