  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 small heads broccoli, washed and finely diced

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.
