Instructions
- Prep your veggies: Start by chopping the broccoli into bite-sized florets and dicing the potatoes, onion, and garlic.

- Add the potatoes and broccoli: Toss the diced potatoes and broccoli florets into the pot and stir for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the broth: Add the vegetable broth, bring it to a boil, and then simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Blend it up: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency.
- Stir in the cream and cheese: Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the cheese and cream, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
- Heat and serve: Allow the soup to heat through on low for about 5 minutes before serving.
