Loaded Veggie & Potato Soup In a Bread Bowl#SoupSwappers

If you love flavorful soups then you’ll definitely want to try this one. Soups are always good but with the potatoes and creamy cheesy consistency, this soup is too good to be true and delicious!

Ingredients 
1 Cube Veg Seasoning
1 Large Carrot - peeled & diced
2 Medium Potatoes - peeled & cubed into small pieces
1 Small Onion - chopped
1 Head Broccoli washed and diced small
1½  Cup Water
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Tablespoon Homemade Soup Mix
500Ml Milk
Shredded Cheddar Cheese - as required
Salt To Taste
½ Teaspoon Minced Garlic
½ Teaspoon Lemon pepper powder

Method

In a pressure pan add half the water, vegetable cube, carrots, potatoes, broccoli and onion. Bring to a boil, cover and take two whistles on high flame. Let the cooker cool.

To Make The Bread Bowl

Take a crusty round bread, slice the top a little, then scoop the center to make a well. Bread bowl is ready.

In a large sauce pan/pot melt butter, add the onion and garlic cook for a minute. Whisk in the soup mix and cook for another minute (or until golden brown). Add in milk and whisk till until the sauce starts to thicken. Add in the veggies and all the stock, bring this to a boil, stirring it gently. Let it simmer for 2 minutes on low flame. Now add the cheese and stir until it is all melted. Add lemon pepper powder and taste for salt (add salt only after tasting). Make it a thinner consistency add a little more milk accordingly (since the bread will absorb most of the soup liquid). 

Serve warm in a bread bowl with a generous sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

My Notes

Serve more soup ( in a seperate bowl) when you are ready to serve, since the bread will absorb most of the liquid. By the time I took pics the soup had been absorbed by the bread.
