Broccoli Cheese Soup

Made an easy soup last night.

32 oz box of chicken broth

1 large russet potato, peeled and sliced

1 large onion, peeled and diced

1 bay leaf

1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed

freshly ground black pepper

salt or chicken granules to taste

Add all ingredients to saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. While the veggies are cooking, separate a bunch of broccoli into florets. Peel and slice the main stem. Add the broccoli to the soup.

Cook until all the vegetables are tender, about 5-10 minutes.

Remove the bay leaf and blend the soup with a stick blender. Add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and a cup of ricotta cheese or sour cream. Blend again.

Correct seasonings and serve garnished with minced green onions.
