Broccoli Potato & Cheese Soup
- 4 whole Russet Potatoes, Peeled And Cubed
- 1 whole Onion, Chopped
- 2/3 cups Melted Butter, Plus 1 Tablespoon For Cooking Onions, Divided
- 1/4 cups Flour
- 2 cups Half-and-half
- 3 cups 1% Milk
- 5 cups Chicken Stock
- 1-1/2 pound Fresh Broccoli, Chopped Into Bite Size Pieces
- 1 cup Julienned Carrots
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Cubed Velveeta
- 1/2 teaspoons Nutmeg
- Boil cubed potatoes till they are a little hard on the inside. Drain and set aside.
- Saute onion in 1 tablespoon butter till tender. Set aside.
- Cook melted butter and flour in a large pot using a whisk over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir constantly and slowly add the half-and-half and milk. Add the chicken stock, whisking the entire time. Simmer for 20 minutes.
- Add the broccoli, carrots, potatoes and onions. Cook over low heat until the veggies are tender, about 20-25 minutes. Add salt and pepper. The soup should be thick by now. Pour half the soup into a blender, puree, and return to the ot (I use an immersion blender for this). Return to heat and add both cheeses; stir until well blended. Stir in nutmeg and serve.
- Serves 10 to 12.
