Creamy Fall Soups
When the weather cools off here in the western part of the United States, I love to start make warm and creamy soups. Potato soup and cheesy broccoli soup are two of my favorites. Mom would make these soups and many others when I was growing up. Sitting down to homemade soups are a treat everyone should enjoy!
Ingredients
Potato Cream Soup
4 tbsp butter
1 medium size onion, sliced
1 tsp garlic
1/4 cup flour
6-8 cups milk
1 tbsp chicken bullion
4 potatoes, cooked, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Cheese and Broccoli Soup
4 tbsp butter
1 medium size onion, sliced
1 tsp garlic
3 cups chopped broccoli
1 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup flour
6-8 cups milk
1 tbsp chicken bullion
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
1
To make the potato cream soup: Heat a large pan on the stove and add the butter, sliced onions and garlic. Saute until fragrant (about 3 minutes).
2
Sprinkle the sautéed onions with flour and stir to incorporate the butter and flour together.
3
Add the milk while gently stirring along with the chicken bullion.
4
Gently fold in the prepared potatoes, and bring the soup to a boil while gently boiling. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the cheese. Stir in the cheese and gently stir until the cheese is melted.

I like to serve this soup in a bread bowl. Enjoy!
