Ingredients
- 1 cup chicken breast uncooked, cut into small pieces
- 1 can chicken broth
- 1 pound broccoli frozen or fresh
- 2 potato peeled and diced
CHEESE MIX:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
- 1 cup milk
- 1 pound Velveeta cheese
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Simmer chicken in broth for 15 minutes.
- Add potatoes and then broccoli to the top of the chicken. Cover pot and steam on low heat for 7 more minutes.
- In separate pan over low heat melt butter, bouillon, milk, and cheese together. (If you prefer, you can add all to a glass bowl and microwave. Cook on high for 3 minutes. Stir well. Cook on high for 1 more minute. Stir.)
- Mix sauce with chicken and veggies. Do not drain broth.
- (You can leave out the potatoes and chicken if you prefer just broccoli).
Notes
- You can make this soup with just broccoli and cheese and it is absolutely delicious. However if you want more of a substantial, hearty soup, try adding chicken for more protein and potatoes for texture. So yummy! Try it and you'll be amazed! We sometimes add carrots and celery for more fiber and onions and garlic for more flavor.
- You can use fresh broccoli or frozen broccoli in this recipe. Fresh broccoli will take a little bit longer to cook than frozen, because frozen broccoli is already blanched and cooks more quickly.
- Top this soup with shredded sharp cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, anything else you like! It's such a versatile recipe. Enjoy!
