I originally made this Broccoli and Cheese Soup recipe for my blog over 2 years ago. Yikes! Boy does time fly!  I have been going through my recipe archives lately and some of them are have serious need for updating. While the recipes are great the photos are blahhh. I have come a long way in my photography, but I still have lots more to learn.

Anyway back to the soup! In my original recipe I had used cheddar cheese. This time I used smoke gouda. Oh my goodness it is deeeelish!

This soup is loaded with veggies so dig in!

Ingredients

1. 2 carrots, peeled and diced
2. 2 celery stalks, diced
3. 1 small onion, diced
4. 2 garlic cloves, minced
5. 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
6. 1 large head of broccoli, roughly chopped including stem
7. 4 cups vegetable broth
8. 1/2 cup milk, I used almond milk
9. 1/2 cup smoked gouda, shredded (cheddar would also work)

11. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot. Add diced carrots, celery, onion and saute for 3 minutes.
