Broccoli Cheese Potato Soup Recipe

Here's something that, shockingly, all my kids will eat. Even Ben (provided I serve it with crusty bread he can dip into it). This made enough that we froze half of it for a future meal. Later I read that potatoes aren't supposed to freeze well, but our leftover soup turned out just fine (the mystery is solved, Mom :).

6 cups water
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
4 potatoes, chopped
1 pkg frozen broccoli (I used a head of fresh, chopped)
1/2 Tbsp pepper
1 tsp garlic
1 dash salt
1 cup grated cheese
Milk

Boil water. Add chicken until almost cooked through. Add all remaining ingredients except cheese and milk. Cook till thickened. Add cheese and enough milk to bring to desired consistency. (I kept mine pretty thick, but Brian said he would have added more milk.) Stir till cheese is melted in.

Easy and yummy.

Ooh, that looks so yummy! I'm going to have to put that one on my list to make (when it gets cooler, Matt thinks soup is for the winter - bummer!)

That sounds sooo yummy. Too bad my picky husband refuses to eat cooked broccoli. Next time you have any of that left over you send some my way.

I didn't tell my kids there was broccoli in it until AFTER they assured me they liked it, LOL. When they asked "what's for dinner" I said "soup and BREAD" (cuz they love bread). I don't think that kind of sneakiness would work on your adult husband (though you never know, LOL).
