"The perfect blend between baked potato and broccoli cheese soup. Creamy, hearty, amazingly tasty. This was a soup I created one day while fishing for ingredients in the fridge. Turned out so well, it became a favorite."

Do you leave the potato peels on? -
The ingredients lists 4 baked potatoes, The directions says simmer the parsley, potatoes, and broccoli 30 minutes. Are we double cooking the potatoes?

This was good, though personally I think it needed a little spicing up. I added some red pepper flakes and salt. to bring out more of the flavor. Easy, though. I'll make again for certain!

Hearty seems to be the relevant word here. This recipe is full of flavor and easy to make with normal (ie not exotic!) ingredients! I chose to use 1 pound of broccoli and 6 medium baked potatoes (I used two as chunks.) I used an immersion blender to purée the ingredients before adding the chunks of potato, milk and cheese. It's a wonderful cold day soup! -
Great recipe! It was quick easy and like he said I had everything in my fridge for it. Everyone in my house loved it! Thanks

I'm a work at home mom of 2, who loves to cook! I'm down with trying most anything, and while we tend to be vegetarian at home, we're not opposed to the tasty treats on occasion! ;)
