Chunky Broccoli Potato Cheddar Soup
Jun 11, 2025 06:21 AM
A rich and hearty soup that’s as comforting as it is a classic. Broccoli Potato Cheddar Soup is chock full of chunky creamy potatoes, tender broccoli, and sweet carrots. Its rich, velvety texture is a combination of puréed potatoes with veggie broth and shredded cheddar stirred in just before serving, no roux required. Perfect with crusty bread or crunchy croutons, this flavorful soup comes together in about an hour. This recipe is vegetarian and easily gluten free.
When it comes to homemade soups and stews, they register right up there on my comfort food-o-meter. But when cheese takes center stage, well, you may as well move it up to the top of the list!
Comforting and classic, while this chunky broccoli potato soup takes a bit of prep, the results pay off big in rich cheesy flavor and hearty texture. Leftovers are even better the next day.
Chunky and Creamy: To keep this soup chunky and hearty, the soup base of potatoes, onion and celery in veggie broth is only partially pureed’ creating a silky texture, yet retaining some of the chunky texture of creamy potatoes and toothsome celery. Too, I went all in on extra broccoli here, adding six cups of florets, keeping the chunky texture going. No thin soup around here!
