Broccoli Cheese Soup
INGREDIENTS
3 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped broccoli (I use florets)
3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
6 tablespoons butter
3 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped broccoli (I use florets)
3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
6 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 pound Velveeta, cubed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 pound Velveeta, cubed
1/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese (or mild if you prefer)
1 pinch ground white pepper
1 pinch ground white pepper
DIRECTIONS
In a large pot over medium heat, simmer the broccoli in the broth for 15 minutes. In a separate skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, add the onions and saute for 5 minutes, or to desired tenderness.
Add the flour to the onions and stir well, forming a pasty substance. Gradually add the milk and stir until thick. Add this mixture to the broccoli mixture in the pot and stir well. Then add the cheese, stirring until melted. Finally, add the pepper. (Note: Be careful not to let the soup boil, or the cheese will break down.)
