Ingredients
Scale
4 cups broccoli florets
2 cups diced potatoes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Add the diced potatoes and broccoli florets to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and let the soup simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If unavailable, carefully transfer to a blender in batches.
Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the milk, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook over low heat until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.
Serve hot, garnished with crumbled turkey bacon.
Notes
For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken broth.
Feel free to add additional spices or herbs to enhance flavor.
