Ingredients
- I use a large 6 quart soup pot for all of my soups.
- Here are the ingredients
- 8 cups water
- 2 tbsp It’s Better Then Bouillion chicken/beef or mushroom stock
- 2 sticks of celery
- 1/2 a medium onion chopped
- 6 pieces of bacon
- 6 cups of broccoli
- 1 cup of cheese of your choice I like extra old cheddar
- 1 tsp of butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
-
First thing your going to want to do is get the bacon cooking. I use scissors to cut it into small pieces before I cook it, it cuts down on the cooking time and the mess!
-
While that is cooking I prep my vegetables. I like to soften the onion and celery and will normally put it into the bottom of the pot with about a tsp of butter and cook until tender.
-
Once that is done I add my broccoli, and the water and bouillon. Once the bacon is cooked at it and the bacon fat to this mixture as well.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste and let simmer for about 3 hours.
Recipe Notes
Add the heavy cream and cheese. I like mine really creamy and will run it through the blender you can also use a hand held if you prefer it less creamy. You can add a little bit of cheese to your bowl as a garnish. Enjoy
