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.
Til we meet and eat again,
