The Best Kind of Soup Mash-Up

I love a classic broccoli cheddar soup, and this loaded potato soup is another favorite. Both get a lot of use during the cooler months, and luckily, my whole family loves them too!

So I decided to mash the two together, and this is basically the best of both in one pot. You get the creamy, cheesy broccoli soup feel, but the potatoes make it extra hearty and filling. Plus, there are plenty of veggies packed in there too.

And of course, it’s even better served in a bread bowl or with a warm from-scratch roll or toasted and buttered bread on the side. SO good!

All the ingredients in this milk, flour, seasonings, garlic, butter, veggies, cheese, and chicken stock.

Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup Ingredients

Ingredient	Let’s Chat About It
Mirepoix	Use store-bought mirepoix or finely dice equal parts onion, celery and carrots.
Baby gold potatoes	No need to peel the potatoes first. You won’t taste the skin! Yukon Gold potatoes will also work; just chop them into similar-sized pieces.
Chicken stock	Swap with vegetable broth to make the soup vegetarian.
Broccoli florets	Chop the florets small so they cook quickly and distribute evenly throughout the soup.
All-purpose flour and butter	Whisk it into the butter for a full minute to remove the raw flour flavor.
Whole milk	Stick with whole milk for the creamiest and best texture.
Sharp Cheddar cheese	Grate it fresh so it melts smoothly.

Sautéing the mirepoix, then adding the potatoes, seasonings, and stock before cooking everything down and stirring in the broccoli for Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup.
