Chicken Broccoli Soup: A Family Recipe

Ingredients:

2-3 boneless skinless chicken breast
4c chicken broth
2c water
1c milk
2 bags of frozen broccoli
2 boxes dried hash browns (betty crocker makes them) If you can't find them, buy 2 refrigerated bags of shredded potatoes.
16oz bag shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil

Directions:

Cube chicken into 1 inch chunks.
Heat a pan (large soup pot or dutch oven) and add 2 tsp oil and add chicken to brown.
Add stock, water, hash browns, milk and broccoli to pot.
Add salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil.
Reduce to medium, cover and stir occasionally so potatoes don't stick to the bottom.
The soup will thicken after awhile. The cook time is approximately 45mins to an hour.
Right before serving add in cheese and stir.

This makes a huge pot of soup and store well for up to a week.
It also reheats great!!

You can also make this vegetarian by omitting chicken and switching chicken broth our for veggie stock.
