Ingredients
  

  • 4 sweet potatoes (or regular potatoes)
  • Olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 3 carrots thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 bunch of broccoli, cut into florets (about 4 cups)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 F. Prick potatoes all over with a fork, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake on a sheet pan for 40-50 minutes or until fork tender.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and carrots and cook 7-10 minutes until onion are soft and carrots slightly tender. Mix in garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Mix the flour into butter and vegetables and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock and whisk until smooth. Mix in the milk, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and broccoli florets. Bring to a simmer then reduce heat back to medium, stirring frequently. Cover pot and cook for 20-30 minutes until broccoli is tender.
  • If desired, use an immersion blender to puree some of the soup or transfer half the soup to a blender to puree then return to the pot.
  • Stir in cheese until melted and combined.
  • Split potatoes open down the center and place them in bowls. Cover with lots of broccoli cheddar soup and extra shredded cheddar cheese.

Notes

  1. Sweet potatoes can be pretty large. Depending on the size of the potatoes, one potato could easily feed two people.
  2. If you don’t like sweet potatoes, regular potatoes will work just as well.
