Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

In a large soup pot, combine the diced potatoes and chopped onion with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.

02

Step
10 mins

Carefully transfer the potato and onion mixture to a large mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.

03

Step
5 mins

Meanwhile, in the same pot, combine the chopped broccoli florets, chicken broth, and remaining 3 cups of water. Cook over medium heat until the broccoli is tender-crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.

04

Step
5 mins

Using an immersion blender, puree the cooled potato mixture until smooth and creamy.

05

Step
10 mins

Coarsely blend the broccoli mixture with the immersion blender, leaving some small pieces for texture.

06

Step
2 mins

Return the pureed potato mixture to the pot with the broccoli. Add the cubed cheddar cheese and evaporated milk. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is heated through, about 15 minutes. Ensure the soup doesn't boil.

07

Step

Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!

For an even richer flavor, consider using a combination of sharp cheddar and Gruyere cheese.
Garnish with a swirl of cream, a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley, or a few crispy croutons for added texture.
If you prefer a completely smooth soup, puree the broccoli mixture until completely smooth as well.
Adjust the amount of evaporated milk to achieve your desired consistency. For a thicker soup, use less; for a thinner soup, use more.
