Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Place in a medium pot (large pot for 4 servings) with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches; bring to a boil and cook until tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• While potatoes cook, cut broccoli into 1-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate garlic.
• Place broccoli and 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until tender, 3-4 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap and drain.
• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, garlic, and Fry Seasoning. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in cream sauce base, cheese roux, stock concentrates, and 2 cups water (4 cups for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 1 minute.
• Stir broccoli, potatoes, cheddar, sour cream, and half the mustard (all for 4 servings) into same pot until fully combined and cheese is incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (TIP: If your potatoes aren’t finished cooking yet, just stir them in when they’re tender.) Remove from heat.
• Divide soup between bowls; garnish with scallion greens. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the taste, though some found it bland; adding extra cheese, herbs, or bacon boosted flavor 🧀.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, though a few found the multi-step process unnecessary for soup.
- Suggestions: Consider blending some potatoes to thicken; try roasting broccoli for more flavor; add crusty bread for dipping.
- Portions: Filling for most, but some wanted a side like garlic bread to make it a complete meal.
- Texture: Some found it too thin for a chowder; adding cornstarch or reducing liquid can help thicken.
Reviews from our home cooks
I was worried that the family would try to compare this chowder to a traditional broccoli cheddar soup, but it was different and delicious. One we'll have again, might add a protein next time too.
This was a very good chowder recipe. I have not added potatoes to broccoli cheese soup before, but this turned out really well--very tasty.
Super yummy and flavorful! The potatoes ended up soaking up all the liquid in the soup so we just added about 1/4 cup of heavy cream to complete this meal! This meal did cause terrible gas pains the next day though - the cream and broccoli combo :( but still so good it was worth it!
We loved this soup! It's familiar broccoli cheddar flavor but with the volume turned up. Yum!
Hearty Broccoli Cheddar Chowder Is so delicious and heats up nicely if eaten at a later time. Also, it's tasty with toasted rolls.
Next time I would puree some of the potatoes in the broth before adding the broccoli for some extra creaminess.
Delicious chowder. Only thing I think would be nicer if there was a tad more broth, like maybe 2.5 to 3 cups rather than two. But very easy to make.
This is not your typical broccoli cheddar soup. It has fry seasoning and mustard in it which lended it a unique but tasty flavor. Very hearty and filling. Will order again.
Could use more fry seasoning. The consistency is better if the potatoes get mashed a bit before adding the broccoli and other final ingredients. Would be good with toast too.
Who doesn't like a hearty soup. It was easy to make and wonderful flaver to eat. Loved it.
