Print Recipe

A warm and comforting Broccoli Potato Soup bursting with savory flavors from tender potatoes, vibrant broccoli, and creamy cheddar cheese, topped with crispy bacon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) chicken broth
  • 2–3 large carrots, peeled and diced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 small heads broccoli, washed and finely diced
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • ⅓ cup flour
  • 3½ – 4 cups milk
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp garlic pepper
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped

Instructions

  1. Combine the chicken broth, diced carrots, cubed potatoes, and onion powder in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the finely diced broccoli to the pot. Cover again and allow it to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Melt the butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and is smooth.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is fully melted and the sauce is creamy. Add the salt and garlic pepper, mixing well.
  6. Pour the cheese sauce into the large pot with the simmered vegetables. Stir until everything is well combined.
  7. Adjust the consistency by adding additional milk if the soup is too thick. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
  8. Serve the soup piping hot, topped with chopped bacon pieces for that extra crunch. Enjoy!

Notes

For a smoother texture, blend the soup with an immersion blender after combining the cheese sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
