Warm up with a bowl of chunky potato broccoli soup, rich, creamy, and full of flavor. A wholesome, satisfying meal perfect for lunch or dinner. Chunky Potato Broccoli Soup is the ultimate comfort food, thick, creamy, and brimming with nourishing ingredients. This easy-to-make soup features tender chunks of potato, fresh broccoli florets, and a creamy base infused with garlic, herbs, and a hint of cheese. It's the perfect one-pot meal for chilly evenings or anytime you crave something hearty and wholesome.
Whether served as a main course or a cozy side dish, this soup will quickly become a family favorite. It's still cold here in Nairobi and soup is just the best way to curl on the sofa and watch Master Chef Australia, my favourite show, or you can watch your favourite movie. Either way you will enjoy this delicious chunky soup. I've become a bit obsessed with soup since realizing that they are healthy filing and most importantly delicious! When it comes to chunky soup, you can really decide to have it as the main meal since it is heavy and would go well with just a salad.

2-3 Cups Vegetable Stock
1 Tablespoon Butter
1/8 Teaspoon salt
1 Cup Plain Yoghurt

Yoghurt gives the chunky soup a rich creaminess and flavour that is utterly delicious
Turn heat to low, mix in the yoghurt
Add the brocolli at the last minute, you want them to be crunchy in the end
Apart from adding a vib rant green color, brocolli gives the soup a crisp texture that balances well with the other vegetables
Turn off the heat and add cheese. I added cheddar cheese but you can add any type of cheese you like. Let it melt into the soup then mix it up completely
Serve ladled in individual soup bowls with bread, croutons or even as a starter for your main meals
