Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup

Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup – Cheesy broccoli soup recipe has broccoli flowerets, potatoes, sharp cheddar cheese and vegetables for a comforting bowl of yum.

This delicious broccoli potato cheddar cheese soup recipe has been enjoyed by my family many times over the last few years since I spotted it on Skinny Taste’s blog. It is all the goodness of cheesy broccoli soup. But I love the addition of potatoes. I feel less like I’m being cheated out of a meat dish and I’m quite satisfied to chow down on this for lunch or dinner. And so is my family.

My kids get really excited when  I tell them we’re having these soup. I’m not sure why, but it’s definitely a family favorite.

And I have to apologize. I’ve been sharing soups for years and I’ve never shared this one. So please accept my humble apology and with that I offer you a golden opportunity. Run to your kitchen and make this. As I type this up it’s rainy and dreary. It’s a 3-day rain streak. Boo-hoo! Those days are hard. But it’s the little things like my cozy lit candles, fresh bread and scrumptious soups, like this that make the day just a little brighter and better.

I actually tried to convince my husband this morning to take a personal day. I was like “C’mon babe. Just me and you and junk food and re-runs of The Office. It will be amazing!” I told sold him on it. Or so I thought. He went to work. I’m not really great at this convincing thing, am I? Pointers and tips welcome. 😉

Next time I suppose I could just lock the doors and lure him back with this Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup or this Beef Barley Mushroom Soup, which happens to be his absolute favorite soup.
