Today, I’m featuring a recipe that was a request from Rachelle who wanted a cheesy potato & broccoli soup…and of course it uses Magic Mix! (For a video of how to make magic mix, click on the How-to Video Page) My family gobbled it all up (and who wouldn’t with a soup that tastes like a baked potato?!) I make this soup when I have left over baked potatoes in the fridge (and I usually do since I make sure to throw in a couple extra with my roast or meatloaf 🙂 Give it a try…it’s easy and fast to make…it’s sure to please!
Cheesy Baked Potato and Broccoli Soup
1 C. Magic Mix
1 1/2 C. Water
3/4 C. Sour Cream
2-3 Baked Potatoes (you can also just use microwaved potatoes)
1 1/2 C. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 1/2 -2 C. Chopped Broccoli
Salt & Pepper to Taste
Garnish with Bacon bits and green onions or chives, if desired
Mix magic mix and water over medium heat, stirring constantly until it begins to boil and thicken. Add in remaining ingredients. Garnish with bacon bits and or green onions.
**Shopping tip** To save money on bacon in any recipe calling for bacon bits…don’t purchase the full strips of bacon. Grocery stores usually sell bits and pieces of bacon left over from the strips at a discounted price…plus they are all ready smaller pieces. Now, that is saving you time and money!

I finally had a chance to try this soup. It was delicious. I served it with rolls and we ate it up.

This recipe was really easy and quick- love that. When I made it, it was really really thick. I added two cups of milk (using powdered milk and water) and added chopped onion, and garlic powder to give it a bit more spice. Didn’t have bacon so with that you might not need the extra spice.

I’m with Janelle. It was REALLY thick and goopy from the cheese when I made it. I’ll have to try adding milk if I make it again.
dj–the magic mix is homemade–there’s a recipe here on this site for it — just three ingredients: flour, margarine, dry milk.

Absolutely wonderful! I read the recipe and was inspired for dinner tonight. We are having some harsh fall weather and this was just perfect. I sauteed some onion and celery (my crew hates green onions, but I love the look of the pretty green flecks!) I did not have any bacon and I can't imagine it tasting better than it did but IT MUST!!! I also reserved some of the cheese to sprinkle on top. I served it with my best biscuits- Oh it was just wonderful!!
Thank you
