Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for buttering the baking dish
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 1/4 pounds Yellow Finn or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 6)
2 bunches broccoli stems, peeled and thinly sliced (about 3 cups; see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups grated Gruyere (about 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-by-8-inch baking dish.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the potatoes, broccoli stems, cream, thyme, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the potatoes have absorbed some of the cream and the mixture thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the Gruyere.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and shake to distribute the potatoes and broccoli evenly. Top with the remaining 1 cup Gruyere. Cover with foil and bake until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until brown and bubbly, about 15 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes before serving.

SLOW COOKER CREAMY POTATO, CABBAGE, BROCCOLI AND CHEESE SOUP



Slow Cooker Creamy Potato, Cabbage, Broccoli and Cheese Soup image

I wanted something a little healthier than regular potato soup. This has some extra veggies and fewer processed ingredients and is wonderful on a cold day. I had to guess on the cooking time as I was home for this and ended up cooking on high because I couldn't wait to eat it.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 6h30m

Yield 5 1/2 quarts, 11 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup chopped celery, 2 stalks
12 ounces frozen broccoli florets
8 medium potatoes, cubed golden potato
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or more)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (or more)
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups water (more or less)
1 small cabbage, chopped
8 ounces neufchatel cheese (cream cheese)
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese (not the taco seasoning type, or cheddar if you like)
tony chachere's original creole seasoning

Steps:

  • Place everything except cabbage and cheese in a 6 quart crockpot.
  • Add as much cabbage as will fit and still leave about an inch of space between the top of the food and the lid.
  • Add water to almost cover the ingredients (about 2 cups when I made it).
  • Cook on low until soft my guess is 6-8 hours then use an immersion blender to cream everything.
  • add in cheeses and blend again, or let melt and stir.
  • This is a nice hearty soup for the cold snap we are having. It needed a bit more flavor so I added the tony's at the end. Adding bits of ham at the beginning might work for that as well.
