Hearty Broccoli Cheddar Potato Soup Instructions

In the microwave, cook potato until soft.

In the oven, roast broccoli until tender.

With your Vitamix's soup setting, combine cheddar and half of cheese. Add potato slowly with remaining cheese. Blend to the desired consistency.

Serve immediately, garnishing with parmesan cheese and artisan salt as desired.

Notes: We're still experimenting with this recipe. The ratio of broccoli to potato is a work in progress. Our first attempt did not roast the broccoli, which gave the soup a raw flavor—not unpleasant, but not what we wanted. We had great luck with a couple of pinches of smoke-flavored sea salt as a garnish.

Makes two large bowls.
