Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup

November 13, 2020 by Nikki Bentley

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Soup is the perfect food to make this time of year especially with it starting to get chilly outside. This comfort food soup recipe is so easy to make and perfect for a quick weeknight meal. Our family loves potato cheese soup and broccoli cheddar soup so I decided to mix them together to create this creamy and delicious comfort food.

When it comes to a truly comforting soup recipe that can be made anytime , you have to make this broccoli potato cheese soup. Rich and creamy, this soup is ideal for a simple dinner idea that can also be used for lunch.

Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup

Whether you are looking for a soup for a cold winter night or want something that just feels like a hug, you love this easy and delicious soup. Filled with a creamy, cheesy broth combined with fresh broccoli and chunks of potatoes. This soup is absolutely perfect anytime of the year.

What kind of Cheese is in this Cheese Soup

When making this cheese soup, you want to use sharp cheddar cheese combined with Velveeta. The soup combines with the chicken broth and heavy cream to create the most amazing base for the soup.

Can I Make This Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup in the Slow Cooker

While you could make this soup in the slow cooker, it would be more trouble than it is worth. Because you would need to drain the potatoes after cooking them and use a separate pan to sauté the veggies. Making this soup in the slow cooker will not save you time. However, if you are serving this soup over a long period of time, like a holiday or party, you can keep this soup warm in the slow cooker.

How Long Does Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup

When the soup has cooled you will want to store it in an air tight container. Store the broccoli cheddar soup with potatoes in the refrigerator. If the soup is stored properly it will last about 5 days in the refrigerator.

What to Serve with Potato Soup

This soup can be a complete meal. If you want to serve it with something, it pairs great with a side salad or with crusty bread. A nice slice of bread always goes great with soup. Some people prefer to have homemade garlic bread.

Can I Add Meat to This Soup

If you need to have meat in your soup, you can add some to this soup. Ground beef or diced chicken breast would go great. Adding meat will make it more like a stew. So, while this soup doesn’t need meat at all, you will love the result if you choose to.

What to Do With Leftover Soup

Broccoli Potato Cheese soup is just as good the following day as it was the day it was made. However, if you still have more soup, or don’t want to eat it right away, you can always freeze it. I like to store the soup in individual serving sizes because it makes it easy to bring out of the freezer for a single meal.

This soup is great for a simple lunch idea. Pull a single serving out for lunch and enjoy.

    What is slap yo mama? I’ve never seen or heard of anything like it. If I can’t find it, what else should I use?

      Hi Jennifer, it is a Cajun seasoning and can be found at most groceries stores, Walmart and even from Amazon. I hope you are able to find it. :)

    Great recipe but I made a couple of changes. Didn’t have any Slap ya Mama – so used another Cajun seasoning. Also, haven’t had any Velvetta in the house for over 20 years so I used Cream Cheese instead. I also used 4 tablespoons Better than Bouillon Vegetable Base with 4 cups of water. Also, pureed this soup as my family tends to eat soup only if they can’t see exactly what’s in it.

      Your changes sounds great Kathi! Thanks so much for sharing for those that don’t use Velvetta. :)
