10 large potatoes peeled and chunked large.. throw in tall heavy bottomed stock pot

add 1/2 of a very large onion or 1 whole medium onion chopped small

add 10-12 cups water (more or less)

add 1 (14 oz) bag of broccoli florets

add 1 can regular chicken broth

salt  & pepper well

let all these come to a boil with lid on then turn down and let it cook till potatoes are very soft…

…….

now you will add:

1 stick butter

1 can evaporated milk

stir and mix 3 heaping tbsp cornstarch with tiny bit of water mixed in small cup..  then poured into stock pot and stir to thicken.

add 1 bag broccoli cutlets

slice 1 32 oz. pkg of  Velveeta or Marvella Cheese into six blocks..

slowly add one block of cheese at a time as you stir and get the block melted and incorporated into the soup

 

chop up 1 8oz Colby Jack Cheese into large cubes and drop in and stir

 

now last but not least add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

stir.. till all cheese  is melted into the soup..

Ladle into bowl while warm with chunks of potato and broccoli

Serve with homemade cornbread mixed in soup in place of crackers.. DELISH!!!!!!

Great served in a bread bowl also…(recipe found on this site just type in ITALIAN BREAD BOWL in search bar)

PS you can also do a much SMALLER version of this soup.. instead of the great big stock pot using a smaller pot and less of all the ingredients (still use a whole can of evaporated milk and a whole stick of butter though)
