Broccoli Potato Soup

Very good base recipe you can do your own thing to. I, personally, used 2 cans potato soup, steamed the broccoli, sauteed onion with garlic, can evaporated milk, carrots,cut up potatoes, added chicken boullion, water. I blended some of the broccoli, and a bit of cauliflower, with some of the soup andstirred it all together. Excellent soup, just use what you want..thanx!

For me, this was a 4 star recipe as written. After tasting it, I knew it was too bland for our tastes so I started modifying. I doubled everything except the broccoli, I used about 2.5 cups of florets. I omitted the onions as we don't like them and used 2 cloves of garlic (minced) instead. I added marjoram, a little onion powder, and upped the black pepper a tad. I also added a cup or so of diced, cooked ham and 2 peeled/diced potatoes. I let this simmer for an hour before adding the cheese. Like others, I used more cheese than called for. This is SO good served with crusty french bread for dipping, thank you for the great starter recipe.

I loved this soup! It took no time at all to whip up and my DH who is soooo picky licked his bowl clean. I did like others and chopped my onions (fine) and added approx. 2 cups of cheese. Wonderful on a cold winter's night.
