Potato and Broccoli Cheese Soup

Potato and Broccoli Cheese Soup is a very thick and flavorful soup that can be blended or left chunky.

Potato and Broccoli Cheese Soup is great on the side of a salad or light dinner. The parsley adds a nice finish. This is a simple ingredient soup and comes together really quickly. It is great for a vegetarian option by switching out the chicken broth for vegetable broth.
