It was so cold, damp, and rainy today, that all I was craving for dinner was a hot bowl of soup.  This broccoli-potato soup with greens totally satisfied my craving.  It only takes 20 minutes from start to finish, and the cost is around $3.50 per serving.

Broccoli-Potato Soup w/greens

2  medium red potatoes, chopped

1  (14 oz.) can reduced sodium chicken broth

3  cups small broccoli florets

2  cups milk

3  Tbsp. all purpose flour

2  cups smoked Gouda cheese, shredded (8 oz.)

2  cups winter greens … like curly endive, chicory, romaine, escarole, or spinach.

Optional - additional Gouda cheese, shredded

1.)  In large saucepan combine potatoes and broth.  Bring to boiling; reduce heat.  Simmer, covered, 8minutes.  Mash slightly.  Add broccoli and milk; bring just to simmering.

2.)  In medium bowl toss flour with cheese; gradually add to soup, stirring cheese until melted.  Season to taste with black pepper.  Divide among shallow serving bowls.  Top with greens and additional cheese.  SERVES 4.
