Bargain Meal of the Week

I've discovered that Hy-Vee has an "exclusive on-line ad" so I am actually using that one for my deal today. I found this recipe at All Recipes, my go to site for finding new recipes.

Potato, Broccoli and Cheese Soup (I've provided pricing on the sale items)

2 cups chopped onion ($0.34)
2 tablespoons margarine
2 1/2 pounds peeled and cubed potatoes ($0.94)
5 cups boiling water (free!)
4 cubes chicken bouillon
3 cups fresh broccoli, cooked and drained ($1.67 per package, which I'm guessing is more than enough)
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese ($3.00)


In a large stock pot saute onion in butter. Add potatoes, water and bouillon cubes. Cover, bring to boil and then reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Remove tough outer skin of broccoli stems and cook broccoli. Once cooked add to soup.
In a blender or food processor puree half of the soup and return to stock pot. Season with salt and pepper.
Add cheese and heat soup through until cheese is melted. Serve warm.

This would make a great (meatless) Lenten meal, if you like options other than Fish (which I certainly do!).

I always look at the hyvee ad online...do you know an example of one ad that is only online compared to not?
