Cheesy Broccoli Cauliflower Soup

  • 2 cups broccoli, chopped roughly
  • 2 cups cauliflower, chopped roughly
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Salmon Magic Seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 10.75-ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup

  5. Pour in the broth, bring to a boil
  6. Reduce heat and simmer 5 to 10 minutes, until vegetables are tender
  7. With an immersion blender, puree some of the vegetables, breaking up the larger pieces (this creates a more interesting texture and makes the soup easier to eat)
