Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) chicken broth
  • 2–3 large carrots, peeled and diced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 small heads broccoli, washed and finely diced

  • 3½ – 4 cups milk
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  7. Serve hot, topped with the chopped bacon pieces. Enjoy!

Notes

For added texture, consider blending a portion of the soup with an immersion blender for a creamier consistency while leaving some chunks for bite. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
