Nova's Broccoli Cheese Potato Soup

This sweet lady my Mom used to know gave her this recipe, and although we have since modified it a tad it's still amazingly delicious.  Make this.  You're welcome.


Ingredients:

6 large potatoes diced (preferably red potatoes, but you could use whatever type you prefer, although sweet potatoes would not work in this soup.)
1 large Spanish onion finely diced
2 heads of broccoli chopped (frozen would work here)
2 cartons of vegetable broth
1 large brick of Velveeta cheese diced
1/2 cup of heavy cream
3 tbsp butter
salt & pepper to taste
crackers for garnish

Begin in a large soup pot by melting the butter and adding in the diced onion on medium heat.  Sweat the onions until translucent and add in the potatoes and broccoli and cook for about 5 minutes covered.  Next add in your vegetable broth and cook until the veggies are fork tender.  Once the potatoes and broccoli are done add in the Velveeta cheese and stir frequently until melted.  To finish off the soup add in the heavy cream and add salt and pepper to taste.  Serve immediately with some crushed crackers.  This soup is so warm and cozy on a chilly day.    I like to mix it up and sometimes I add in some cooked pasta and other times I substitute half the broccoli with cauliflower.  I hope you love this soup!
