Ingredients

  • 3-4 potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 6 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 3 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 32 ounce chicken stock
  • 2 16 ounce packages of frozen chopped broccoli
  • 1 16 ounce jar cheese whiz
  • 1 can cream of potato soup
  • 2 cans cream of celery soup
  • 1 8 ounce container sour cream

Instructions

  • Saute your onion and celery in butter until soft. Add potatoes and chicken stock and simmer covered until potatoes are soft. (20-30 minutes)
  • Add broccoli, simmer about 15 minutes more.
  • With a potato masher, mash vegetables until they are small. Add to this the rest of the ingredients, stir and warm until ready to eat.

In the Crock Pot:

  • This recipe is also easy in the crock pot. When I make it in the crock pot I cook the veggies until they are soft and mash-able in the chicken stock. (on low all day)
  • About 30 minutes before dinner, mash, and add cream based ingredients, warm and serve.
