I saw this online and decided to try it. Yum!
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup finely chopped carrot
1 stalk celery, finely chopped or 1 TB dried celery
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
4 cups chicken broth
2 large baking potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 Tablespoon arrowroot powder
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup milk
2 cups chopped broccoli
2 heaping cups shredded cheddar cheese
Melt the butter in a large soup pot. Add onions, carrots, and celery and saute over medium heat until tender. Add garlic and cook 1 or 2 additional minutes. Add chicken broth and potatoes, bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are tender. Mix arrowroot powder with water, add, and simmer until soup is slightly thickened. Add milk and broccoli and cook until broccoli is just tender and soup is heated through. Stir in cheese, allow to melt, and serve.
One chilly day a couple of weeks ago Mommy saw this recipe online and we decided to try it. It was great! All you children loved this. Put enough cheese in something and everyone will enjoy it! :) Often we will bake up extra potatoes for Baked Potato Bar night. Sometimes we cube the leftover potatoes and freeze them. That makes this meal super fast to make. If the potatoes are already cooked add them when you add the broccoli and everything will be finished cooking at the same time.
Love Always,
Mommy
