Cheesy Broccoli Potato Bowl (Printable Version)

Thick, cheesy goodness with potatoes and broccoli. Feels like a warm hug, done fast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 16 ounces broccoli florets (use fresh if you've got them, frozen works fine too)
02 - 2 large potatoes, peel them and then chop into half-inch cubes
03 - 4 cups chicken stock
04 - 3 garlic cloves, minced up
05 - 2 medium carrots, diced up small
06 - 1 onion, chopped
07 - 1-2 tablespoons of butter

→ Thickening and Flavor

08 - ½ teaspoon salt
09 - ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
10 - 1½ cups sharp cheddar, shredded
11 - 1 cup milk
12 - ¼ cup cornstarch

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Scoop soup into your bowls and eat while it's hot. That's it!
02 - Keep stirring while you add the cheese. Let it melt in and get all creamy.
03 - In another bowl, whisk your cornstarch and milk together until it’s totally smooth. Pour this into your soup to get it nice and thick.
04 - Toss in the broccoli and let everything bubble away until both the potatoes and broccoli are soft enough to easily poke with a fork. That'll take about ten minutes.
05 - Now add the chopped potatoes and chicken stock. Pop a lid on, get it simmering, and give it about 10 minutes.
06 - Sprinkle in your carrots, salt, and pepper. Let it cook for another couple of minutes, then add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
07 - Grab a skillet, melt your butter over medium-high heat, then throw in the onion and cook until soft. Shouldn’t take more than three minutes.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Wait for the soup to cool down before you stick it in an airtight container. It'll last in your fridge for about three days.
