Cream of Potato Soup is a great autumn and winter dinner and can easily paired with a bread roll recipe. When you sauté the root vegetables just right and add either chicken or veggie stock, it can make for a heavenly soup….
Now that summer is turning into some serious autumn in Montana, (Monday was barely 60 degrees) it seemed like the perfect time to make cream of broccoli soup. I’m not a fan of broccoli but it is one of my husband’s favorite vegetables. The only place I enjoy broccoli is in cream soup- so I scoured Pinterest and went with this recipe. Simple and delicious! I made some bread bowls and my husband were quickly full.

I have my own Cream of Broccoli Soup that will knock your socks off!
