Is there anything better or more comforting after a long day on a cold night?! You could probably throw everything in a crock pot on low all day, too.Broccoli Cheese Soup
32 oz. chicken broth
2 T. olive oil
2 T. butter
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 bag frozen broccoli
2-3 carrots, chopped
1 onion, minced
2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 lb. Velveeta, cubed
Add olive oil and butter to a large soup pot. Add celery, carrots, and onion and saute until the veggies start to soften. Add potatoes and broccoli and saute a couple more minutes. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer for about 1 hour until all the veggies are very tender and soft. Add the cream of chicken and celery soup and velveeta cheese and simmer until everything is melted together. Use a hand held immersion blender, or in small batches in your blender until as smooth or chunky as you want it. Season with salt & pepper, if needed.
Optional: if you want a thinner consistancy, add milk at the end.
