Creamy Potato Broccoli, Cheddar Soup

Since the weather is cooling a little, I thought I would make some homemade yummy Potato soup with broccoli and cheddar. My husband really enjoys the Panera  Bread soup.  My soups are almost like a chowder, creamy, rich and full of veggies.  Very much comfort food with some lovely sourdough bread.


Yesterday my husband and I visited another neighbor who is recovering from back surgery.
He gets to go home tomorrow.  He  loves soup, so I wanted to bring him some of this soup.

Well, update, our neighbor is home.  My husband and I drove our Gator vehicle over to visit him and take him some homemade soup, fresh bread and the apple dessert I made.

He was very thankful.  While we were there, he said his tv was not working.  So my husband took a look.  After a bit, he figured out it was on the wrong setting. TV once again!

Rosie's Owner is coming home on Thursday.  I am sure Rosie will be happy to be home and see her owner, Sharon.

While Sharon was away, I created a photo book for her recently deceased husband, John's memories.
It was easy to do.  This time I used Walgreens, which was created online and It could be picked up the same day.

  15. Oh hallelujah! A potato and broccoli soup with a vegetable base instead of chicken! My husband won't eat anything with chicken broth and he can sniff it out. I'll definitely be making this. ;)

    By the way, I can just picture you riding over on the gator to deliver soup. That's sweet.

  16. That looks so yummy and not too hard to make. I'll give it a try! That is so sweet of you to make that photo album for your neighbor- I bet she cried when she saw it! I have a feeling Rosie will miss being with you guys. Glad you were able to fix your neighbors tv too. A while back when my mom was more involved she would screw up her tv all the time. She'd call me and I'd have to walk her through all the steps to get it back to normal. It was always because she would get the cable box turned off and not the tv or vice versa and I had to get it back in sequence. You and Paul have become the goodwill ambassadors of your neighborhood!

  17. What a nice thing for you and your husband to do, dinner and a movie (TV). I bet people are lining up to be your neighbor......

  18. You are such good neighbors. I hope your neighbor recovers quickly and I am sure he is really appreciative of what you do for him.
    I am saving this soup---for us now it would be soup for one as John can no longer ingest food-but it is something I know I would love.
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Linda. xo Diana

  24. Oh, Linda, you are taking care of everyone! That's so thoughtful to create a photo book. No doubt your friend will be deeply touched.
    This soup looks delicious and your recovering friend will be grateful, I'm sure. No one likes hospital food!
    So good to finally have a moment to visit. This week is the first time I'm finally seeing some recovery on my traffic after it dropping to zero because of the glitches on my blog so that's a good thing, lol. Now if I can get through the next month, I'll be able to breathe! Big hugs to you, sweet friend.
