Potato and Broccoli Soup

With all of these chilly nights, soup sure has been sounding good.  This is a good recipe.  It calls for diced potatoes and broccoli.  I'm not much of a chunky potato soup person, so after it was done cooking, I used my stick blender and blended it up some.  The family loved it, what don't they love ;), and ate it up.  I served it with bacon, cheese, and a bread stick for dunking.  Hope you enjoy!
