Better yet, my whole family couldn’t get enough of this easy soup recipe. My kids seem to become pickier about food by the day, but they had no problem quickly finishing this one off. I love that it is a blend of two of the best soups, so you get that creamy potato soup goodness plus and abundance of broccoli and cheese flavor.

How to Make Cheddar Broccoli Potato Soup

In a large pot over medium heat, melt some butter, then add in carrots, celery and onion and saute 3 – 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer.

Stir in the chicken broth, potatoes and thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium, cover with lid and cook.

Stir in broccoli and cook 5 minutes longer, or until veggies are tender.

Meanwhile, melt remaining 4 Tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, whisking constantly 1 minute. While whisking vigorously, slowly pour in milk (whisk well until no lumps remain).

Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to gently boil and thicken. Stir in heavy cream, then remove from heat and pour into the soup and stir.

Remove broccoli potato soup from the heat and stir in cheddar and parmesan cheese until melted. Serve warm.

Can I Use Vegetable Broth Instead of Chicken Broth?

Yes, if you’re vegetarian feel free to use vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth. Just make sure the broth you’re using is low-sodium.

Can I Substitute Milk for the Heavy Cream?

You might be able to achieve the same consistency if you use whole milk instead of heavy cream, but I’d suggest using heavy cream as the recipe calls for.

Tips for the Best Cheddar Broccoli Potato Soup

This broccoli potato cheese soup won’t freeze well because of the dairy. If making in advance, store in the fridge for 1-2 days.

If you don’t have cheddar, try using a good melting cheese such as Gruyere cheese.

You could also use cauliflower instead of broccoli in this potato soup recipe.
