Cheddar-potato-broccoli Soup

Ingredients

14 gr butter
120 gr onions
375 gr potatoes
600 ml boiling water
2 chicken bouillon
110 gr broccoli cuts
80 gr cheddar cheese

Instructions

Salt and pepper to taste Melt the butter in a 2to 3 litre saucepan. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, water and bouillon cubes. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium and cook just until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove 1 cup of potato cubes with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour the contents of the saucepan into a blender and process until smooth. Return to the saucepan. Mix in the reserved potatoes and the broccoli. Place over medium-low heat and very gradually add the cheese, stirring until heated through and the cheese is completely melted. Season with salt and pepper. Makes 4 servings.
