Preparing Loaded Broccoli Potato Soup
Making this loaded broccoli potato soup is straightforward and quick. The process can be broken down into easy steps, allowing even novice cooks to whip it up without a hitch. You’ll start by sautéing some vegetables, then simmer everything together to let the flavors meld beautifully. If you prefer a smooth texture, you can blend the soup down to a velvety finish, but it’s just as delightful left chunky!
What You’ll Need
Before diving into the cooking, gather these essential ingredients:
- 2 – 14.5 oz. cans chicken broth
- 2-3 large carrots, peeled and diced
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed into small pieces
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 2 small heads broccoli, washed and diced small
- 3 Tbsp. butter
You can get creative with substitutions; for a vegetarian option, swap chicken broth for vegetable broth, and if you don’t have fresh broccoli, frozen will work in a pinch!
