This Soup Needs Something Aka Chicken Potato Broccoli Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Prick potatoes with a fork and wrap each potato in aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Cool potatoes until easily handled; scoop insides from skins and discard skins.
• Place chicken in a bowl and add enough olive oil to coat; add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss to coat.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir chicken until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Toss onion, carrots, and celery with enough olive oil to coat in a bowl.
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir onion mixture until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-heat. Stir flour into melted butter and cook until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour milk, about 1/4 cup at a time, into butter-flour mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Stir cooked potato, chicken, onion mixture, chicken stock, broccoli, 1/2 of the bacon bits, 1/2 of the green onions, and 4 ounces of the Cheddar cheese into the sauce. Cook soup until heated through and broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir sour cream into soup and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Ladle soup into serving bowls and top with remaining bacon, green onions, and Cheddar cheese.

Steps:

• Pour the can of Progresso Potato, Broccoli& Cheese Soup in the crock pot.
• Set the temp to warm.
• Add can of sliced potatoes, 1 cup of mixed veggies and the diced onion.
• I poached the chicken.
• You could boil it or just use the George Foreman.
• If you want to poach it (I used breasts), you bring the water to a rolling boil.
• Add the chicken and boil for 5 min.
• (I did it about 10 min.), then turn the burner off, take the pot off the stove and cover it for 15 minutes.
• Dice the chicken add to the soup.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Re-set the temp for high for 2-3 hours (to cook the onions).
• Or you could set the temp to low for 5-6 hours.
• Depends on when you need it.
• Turn the temp to warm for about an hour before serving.
• Add the sour cream and stir until blended just before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add all but 2 to 3 of the broccoli florets, bring back to a simmer and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, and let cool at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
• Meanwhile, cut the reserved broccoli florets in half, lengthwise. Put in a small microwave-safe bowl, toss with a splash of water and a pinch of salt, cover and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Add the cream and reheat the soup if necessary. Adjust the consistency and seasoning with water, salt and pepper.
• Serve hot and garnish each soup with a broccoli half.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the melted butter until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add potato and broccoli stems; generously season with salt and pepper. Pour broth into potato mixture, cover, and simmer until potatoes are softened, about 10 minutes.
• Mix broccoli florets into soup and simmer until broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes. Blend soup with an immersion blender until smooth.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; whisk flour, milk, and heavy cream into melted butter. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk milk mixture until bubbling and thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk thickened milk mixture into soup until incorporated; adjust salt and pepper.
