Broccoli Cheese Potato Soup

So Sunday we offered to feed the sister missionaries and I thought it would be fun to do something I haven't tried before. So here you have it!

1 large onion

2 tablespoons butter

7 medium potatoes-chopped

5 cups water (more if you like it thinner)

4 chicken bullion cubes

3 good size bunches of broccoli

4 oz cream cheese

6-8 ounces shredded cheese (I did the half Parmesan/mozzarella mix)

I would get all your veggies ready first.

Saute the onion and butter together. Add water, bullion cubes and potatoes. Heat to boil, then turn heat down and let cook for 15 minutes. Cut broccoli to desired size and such. (I didn't use the stem, I know some people do though.) Cook broccoli in microwave (cover with saran wrap) for 3 minutes. Add both cheeses and let them melt a little (you may have to turn the heat up for that one.) Put in broccoli. Let cook for a minute or two. Then there you have it! A tasty soup!

Added July 5: I have also tried this recipe in the crock pot. Throw the potatoes, bullion cubes, broccoli, onion(I did onion flakes this time) and water in, then about an hour or 2 before it is done, add the butter, cream cheese and cheese. I also added salt and chives. It tasted wonderful!
