Provided by Seeshell

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Cream Soup Recipes     Potato Leek Soup Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 slices bacon, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 large leeks, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 cups chicken stock
3 Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups broccoli florets
2 ½ cups whole milk
3 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Stir the bacon and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until the bacon has turned golden brown and released its grease, about 7 minutes. Add the butter, leeks, onion, and celery. Cook and stir until the leeks have softened, about 7 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken stock, potatoes, herbes de Provence, coriander, fennel, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are just beginning to turn tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the broccoli, and simmer 5 minutes. Add the milk, and continue simmering until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes more.
  • Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper; sprinkle with chopped green onions to serve.

SLOW COOKER CREAMY POTATO, CABBAGE, BROCCOLI AND CHEESE SOUP



Slow Cooker Creamy Potato, Cabbage, Broccoli and Cheese Soup image

I wanted something a little healthier than regular potato soup. This has some extra veggies and fewer processed ingredients and is wonderful on a cold day. I had to guess on the cooking time as I was home for this and ended up cooking on high because I couldn't wait to eat it.

Provided by JG-TKD

Categories     Low Protein

Time 6h30m

Yield 5 1/2 quarts, 11 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup chopped celery, 2 stalks
12 ounces frozen broccoli florets
8 medium potatoes, cubed golden potato
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or more)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (or more)
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups water (more or less)
1 small cabbage, chopped
8 ounces neufchatel cheese (cream cheese)
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese (not the taco seasoning type, or cheddar if you like)
tony chachere's original creole seasoning

Steps:

  • Place everything except cabbage and cheese in a 6 quart crockpot.
  • Add as much cabbage as will fit and still leave about an inch of space between the top of the food and the lid.
  • Add water to almost cover the ingredients (about 2 cups when I made it).
  • Cook on low until soft my guess is 6-8 hours then use an immersion blender to cream everything.
  • add in cheeses and blend again, or let melt and stir.
  • This is a nice hearty soup for the cold snap we are having. It needed a bit more flavor so I added the tony's at the end. Adding bits of ham at the beginning might work for that as well.

BROCCOLI CHEESE AND POTATO SOUP



Broccoli Cheese and Potato Soup image

This is a yummy and easy soup to throw together. Cheese compliments broccoli and potatoes so well. Ultimate comfort food when the weather starts to get colder. I love to serve it with homemade rolls or bread and a salad. I make it with skim milk to cut back on calories but feel free to substitute whole milk or half-and-half for a creamier soup. If I'm really short on time, I just throw in a can of diced, already cooked potatoes towards the end of the cooking time until they are heated through. If you want a thicker soup, just add desired amount of flour mixed until smooth with an equal amount of water. Mmmmmm....

SEARED BROCCOLI AND POTATO SOUP



Seared Broccoli and Potato Soup image

This is not your average broccoli soup. Instead of merely boiling the broccoli to cook it, here, the florets are seared until deeply browned on one side while remaining bright green on the other. This gives the soup a layer of caramelized flavor while also preserving the fresh green taste of the broccoli itself. It's a technique inspired by Andrew Feinberg of Franny's restaurant in Brooklyn, who also uses it for zucchini soup. In this version, we've added potato for body, chile flakes for spice and lemon zest to heighten the citrus tang at the end.

Categories     dinner, for one, for two, lunch, soups and stews, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup olive oil, plus more as needed
2 heads broccoli (about 2 pounds), separated into small florets, stems peeled and diced
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large Spanish onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoons black pepper, more for finishing
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 pound potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, more to taste
Grated Parmesan, to finish
Flaky sea salt, to finish

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat. Add about a third of the broccoli, just enough so that it covers the bottom of the pan in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook broccoli without moving it for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until dark brown on 1 side only (leave the other side bright green). Transfer to a big bowl and repeat with remaining broccoli and more oil. When all the broccoli has been browned, season with 1 teaspoon salt and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to pan. Add onions and garlic, black and red peppers, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook onion-garlic mixture until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add potato to the pot with 1 quart water and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, cover pot and cook until potato is just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add broccoli, cover again and cook until tender, another 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Add lemon zest and roughly purée soup with an immersion or regular blender, leaving some small chunks for texture. Stir in lemon juice. Finish with grated Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, black pepper and flaky sea salt.

CREAMY BROCCOLI AND POTATO SOUP



Creamy Broccoli and Potato Soup image

Puree potato and broccoli with garlic, leeks and thyme for a silky, savory soup.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced leeks, white and light green only
1 cup chopped peeled potato
3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 medium clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups broccoli florets
1/4 to 1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Add all but 2 to 3 of the broccoli florets, bring back to a simmer and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, and let cool at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
  • Meanwhile, cut the reserved broccoli florets in half, lengthwise. Put in a small microwave-safe bowl, toss with a splash of water and a pinch of salt, cover and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Add the cream and reheat the soup if necessary. Adjust the consistency and seasoning with water, salt and pepper.

PUREED POTATO AND BROCCOLI SOUP WITH PARMESAN CROUTONS image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable     Vegetarian     Simmer

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced and cleaned (optional)
3 garlic cloves, chopped, plus 1 small clove, cut in half
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste
2 pounds starchy potatoes (russets or Yukon golds), peeled and cut in large dice
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf and 2 sprigs each parsley and thyme
2 quarts water, chicken stock, or vegetable stock
1 pound broccoli crowns, coarsely chopped
Freshly ground pepper to taste
12 thin slices baguette or country bread
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat and add the onion and optional leeks. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the chopped garlic and cook, stirring, for another minute, until fragrant. Add the potatoes, bouquet garni, water, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Add the broccoli, turn the heat up slightly to bring back to a boil, then reduce the heat again and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, until the broccoli is thoroughly tender but still bright. Remove the bouquet garni. Blend the soup either with a hand blender, in batches in a blender (cover the top with a towel and hold it down to avoid hot splashes), or through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. For a silky texture, strain through a medium strainer set over a bowl, using a pestle or the bottom of a ladle to push the soup through. Return to the pot, taste and adjust salt, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and heat through. Lightly toast the bread and rub with a cut clove of garlic. Top each slice with a spoonful of Parmesan and heat through in a toaster oven or under a broiler, being careful to watch closely, until the cheese melts. Serve the soup, topping each bowl with 2 croutons.

BROCCOLI POTATO CHEESE SOUP - WEIGHT WATCHERS



Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup - Weight Watchers image

This is a low-fat recipe I got out of one of my moms weight watchers cookbook and I've been making it for years. The DH loves it and it's great to make on cold days and fine for big portions. SPECIAL NOTE: This soup can easily be modified. Add more ham and cheese if you'd like, or add cubed chicken or Turkey instead of ham. If you add more veggies and need more water to boil them, use 2 bouillon cubes to every cup of water you add and 2 Tablespoons of Flour to every cup of milk to thicken it up. I serve the soup with Cheddar Cheese Popovers. NOTE: If you are doing the 2012 version of WW, it has 11 points per serving as written.

BROCCOLI, HAM, AND SWEET POTATO SOUP



Broccoli, Ham, and Sweet Potato Soup image

There's nothing like a hearty soup to warm you up on a chilly day! When I was a teenager, I worked at a restaurant that had a ham and broccoli soup in their "soup of the day" rotation. This is my twist on that recipe!
