Oh, Mother Nature, you are such a tease! Earlier this week, we were ready to bust out shorts and flip flops. Today, we are buried under a mountain of snow. All schooling and community activities have been cancelled today, and we are cooped up indoors. Blah! Usually when we are stuck indoors, I like to test out new recipes. Since it's cold today, soup sounds like a fun and warming recipe to try. We love potato soup, and we love broccoli soup, but we have never combined the two veggies into one soup dish. So, this Potato Broccoli Soup from Golden Blossom Honey looked like it was going to hit the spot today!
With just a few ingredients, this soup can be whipped up in no time! It's a light, healthy soup, but I also think it would be fantastic turned into a cream based soup as well, if you don't mind the extra added calories. Served up with some toasted French bread, it's the perfect lunch or light dinner recipe.
Ingredients
2 pounds potatoes, washed and cut into 1 inch chunks3 cloves garlic, minced
7 cups water
1 pound broccoli
1 tablespoon GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1/2 loaf French bread cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
olive oil
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

What's your favorite recipe to cook when you are stuck indoors?
Broccoli is great, it has more calcium than milk does.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm stuck indoors I like to make Chicken Enchiladas.
Chicken Enchiladas are so yummy! I haven't had them in a while, but I think I need to pick up some tortillas this weekend and fix that!
Deleteda only thing missing in that soup - some diced celery leaves :)
ReplyDeleteI will never stop wondering how your schools close with the very first snowflake :) In my country we kick kids out onto the snow like huskies. And ain't nobody even has cars, they all go to school on foot. It used to take me an hour to get there and an hour to come back, rain, snow or shine :) Which is why me has Goblin feet now. I'd wake up at 5.30AM to get to school at 7.15 :)
We get lake effect snow in our area and it is super heavy and icy. It's not safe to drive on or walk through. The schools close because the buses can't make it through the slush. Allison threw a fit because I wouldn't let her walk down the road to a friends house because I was worried about her getting run over by a car sliding through the ice. When I went out yesterday, I noticed some cars took out a few mailboxes and stop signs in our neighborhood, so she can't give me the "nobody will run me over" speech she kept trying to feed me yesterday. I just point at the damage and she shuts right up lol
Deletecan't she shovel her way through the snow and husky up the sleighs with your dogs? :)
DeleteWe don't even have school buses here, we're expected to walk to school :( and ain't nobody cleans the streets on top of that.
School closings due to snow...the kids love those, lol. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat soup does sound tasty good to me too. I love the two soups you mentioned idependently. Combining them would be blissful. :)
Oh, they sure do! But when summer rolls around, they also like to grumble when they have to make those snow days up in the warm weather.
DeleteThere is an interesting mixture. Ugg, mother nature keeps changing back and forth. Flip flopper she is.
ReplyDeleteI am starting to hate Mother Nature. She can never seem to make up her mind!
DeleteI love a nice warm soup when it is cold out. We have had some nasty weather so this would be very comforting.
ReplyDeleteThat looks yummy! You know, I've made potato soup, and I've made broccoli soup, but I've never tried potato broccoli soup before.
ReplyDeleteIt may be starting to warm up here but I am still all about the soups. I love how hearty this recipe seems to be!
ReplyDeleteSome added extra calories aren't always a bad thing! These are gorgeous photos and I can't wait to try the soup!
ReplyDeleteI will for sure have to try this. My kids love potato and broccoli so I know they will think this is just delicious! It looks so amazing! - Jeanine
ReplyDeleteI love potato soup and my mom likes to throw broccoli in hers for good measure. The weather here in Michigan has been awful the last week and we have another storm coming.
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to boost up a potato soup. I think it's yummy and will have to make it.
ReplyDeleteBroccoli is my all-time favorite veggie, so this recipe is calling to me. I hadn't considered pairing it with potatoes, but it looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really delicious! I've never actually made potato and brocoli soup so it's perfect timing!
ReplyDeleteLooks really good! What a surprise that honey is an ingredient for this soup!
ReplyDeleteI am drooling. I Love hearty soups like this! NOM.
ReplyDeleteYum, my favorite! I love your photo too!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazingly delicious, and would be hearty during the winter weather.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great new recipe to make soup. Need to try this on the weekend.
