A comforting and creamy Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup that combines tender potatoes, fresh broccoli, and sharp cheddar cheese in a rich, flavorful broth. This soup is perfect for a cozy meal and is easy to prepare with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 16 ounces broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

Liquids and Dairy

  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Others

  • 1–2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Melt one to two tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the diced onions in butter until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the diced carrots along with salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and sauté while stirring for 30 seconds to release the aroma.
  2. Simmer Potatoes: Add the chopped potatoes and chicken stock to the skillet. Cover and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes until the potatoes start to become tender.
  3. Add Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets into the pot and continue simmering for another 10 minutes or until both the broccoli and potatoes are fork-tender and cooked through.
  4. Thicken Soup: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch into the milk until fully dissolved and smooth. Stir this mixture into the hot soup to thicken the broth evenly.
  5. Add Cheese: Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the soup and stir continuously until the cheese has completely melted, giving the soup a rich, creamy texture.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, enjoying the comforting flavors and hearty texture.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken stock with vegetable broth.
  • Use low-fat milk or plant-based milk to reduce fat content.
  • Fresh broccoli provides the best texture, but frozen works well too.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
