Potato, Broccoli and Cheese Soup

This recipe is super easy and my kids (minus Drew again) love it. Wade force fed Drew a bite and he cried the whole time. Maybe someday he'll eat dinner if it's not spaghetti. I got this one from All Recipes.com and I've made it bunches of times.

2 cups chopped onion (I usually use minced onion and just use however much I feel like)

2 T. margarine

2 1/2 lbs. potatoes peeled and cubed

5 cups boiling water

4 chicken bouillion cubes

3 cups fresh broccoli

salt and pepper to taste

3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

In a large stock pot, saute onion in butter. Add potatoes, broccoli, water and bouillion cubes. Cover, bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. (When I made this tonight, I didn't cover it. I guess I forgot. I just boiled it until the potatoes were done.)

In a blender, puree half of the soup and return to stock pot. Season with salt and pepper.

Add cheese and heat soup through until cheese is melted. Serve warm.

I usually add some sour cream too since this recipe doesn't call for any milk. I just like making it a little creamy. You could probably add some milk too instead of water. And sometimes if I'm making it for more people, I just add more water and bouillion cubes.
