LOADED BROCCOLI, CHEESE, & POTATO SOUP!!
This Potato Soup is so full of flavor and so thick & delicious it seems more like a chowder than a wonderful soup!!!
This was fantastic! Soup is my love language in the colder months, and I love a creamy soup but hate how gritty a roux can be sometimes.
This one was not! Also surprised by the flavor…thought for sure I would need more salt, but this was spot on.
This thick and creamy soup is full of delicious vegetables including broccoli, potatoes, and carrots, plus lots of cheese and delicious seasonings.
Loaded Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup Is The Ultimate Cheesy Broccoli Soup Recipe.
I made this on the weekend. Delicious! Instead of onion powder and garlic pepper, I sauteed minced onion and garlic into the butter before adding the flour.
I also lightly mashed the veggies and broth with a potato masher before adding the cheese sauce and added some hot chili sauce at the end to give it a bit of a kick.
Very simple to make and very tasty. Will definitely make it again.
