Quick n Easy Potato Broccoli soup
Description
I never make broccoli cheese soup. I use to make it for my husband until I was pregnant and got very sick eating it. I tried several times to make it but the smell got to me. Weird thing is I love broccoli and eat it whenever I can. Today I was pulling from what I had on hand to make a quick dinner. I decided to make potato ham soup. I didn't have milk or cream on hand. I knew that the potatoes when smashed would give this soup a beautiful creamy texture. I knew it needed more to it. Searching in the freezer I found a very large bag of broccoli. I dumped it in my creamed soup and tasted it after a few minutes of simmering. Guess what? It didn't make me sick. I think the potatoes cut the taste that nagged me! My family is very happy to get this soup!

5 lbs potatoes peeled and chopped
1 lb ham, optional
1 lg bag frozen broccoli, can use fresh
1 T Garlic Powder
1 T crushed red pepper flakes
1 T Mrs. Dash original seasoning
1 tsp salt
1 can evaporated milk
1 stick butter
Parmesan cheese, topping
12 slices American cheese
Croutons, topping
Preparation
Boil potatoes and ham in just enough water to cover potatoes. Cook until potatoes are tender. Mash the potatoes with back of spoon and add everything but the cheeses. Simmer until thick (approx. 30 min.) Add cheese and serve! Garnish with Parmesan cheese and top with croutons!
This soup took 1 hour from start to finish. I had all the ingredients on hand. Go check your pantry. Maybe you can make this tomorrow!
We use Mrs. Dash all the time for cooking and seasoning our food. I'm so impressed with all their seasonings. Very seldom do I season our food with salt. I do use a little of salt when making potatoes.
