Cheesy Broccoli Soup
"This delicious thick cheesy soup is delicious and freezes well. The potatoes help thicken it with out flour but don't add a real potato flavor. I make a big batch then freeze small containers to reheat quickly in the microwave when the craving for it hits me."

Wonderfully thick and cheesey! I loved the smooth texture with some chunks mixed in. I used butter instead of olive oil, otherwise I made it as written. I will definitely make this again. Thanx for sharing.
