POTATO, BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR SOUP

Steps:

• In a 4 to 5 quart pot, heat olive oil on medium heat.
• Add celery and onions, and sauté until they are softened about 5 minutes.
• Add potatoes, chicken broth, water, and salt. Cover with a lid.
• Bring liquid to a boil, then lower heat, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the heat.
• Clean the outer skins of the broccoli and chop them into tiny, bite-size pieces. In a medium pot, bring 1-inch of water to a boil, then add broccoli and cover.
• Simmer the broccoli on a low boil for about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the broccoli to steam for another 2 to 3 minutes. Drain. The color of the broccoli should be bright green and tender.
• Add only HALF the cooked broccoli to the potatoes. Reserve and set aside the other half.
• Using an immersion hand-held blender, begin to slowly pulse up and down directly inside the large pot of soup to puree the potato and broccoli. Puree until well blended. If you don't have one, then blend in your blender but only in small batches and only use the lowest speed. The heat of the soup could pop the lid off the blender, so be extra careful.
• Stir in the remaining cooked broccoli and cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and blended. Season with fresh cracked pepper to taste.
• Ladle soup into bowls, and garnish with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Serve warm.
• Optional: Before serving, top each bowl with some crumbled bacon pieces or croutons.
• Serves 6 to 8

LOADED POTATO & BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil in a large pot and saute onions until caramelized and aromatic. This works best over a medium-high heat.
• 2. Once golden brown, add the peeled and chopped potatoes. Mix to coat the potatoes with the olive oil and onions.
• 3. With a garlic press, press the cloves of garlic over the potato mixture. Mix to evenly coat the garlic. This smell will cause your mouth to water, but hold tight!
• 4. Add the broth to the potato mixture and season with salt and pepper. The broth should cover the potatoes slightly. Bring the broth to a boil, cover, and allow the soup to simmer just long enough to soften the potatoes through. Be sure to stir frequently to avoid the potatoes burning. The broth will thicken slightly as the potatoes cook through. Before the broth is too thick, add the broccoli.
• 5. Allow the broccoli to cook with the potatoes for about 5 minutes. You can always add a tad more broth if needed.
• 6. Add the butter and Cheddar Soup to the mixture. Keep mixing until the soup is blended evenly and the butter is melted.
• 7. Add the 3 cups of shredded cheese and mix until melted and blended.
• 8. Add the heavy cream and mix thoroughly.
• 9. Add the slices of gouda and mix the soup until it is the right consistency.
• 10. Serve hot with the options of bacon and extra cheddar cheese as toppings.
