Soup & Broccoli Cheese Soup
|
| Ingredients: |
| 10 oz. broccoli, chopped |
| 1 small onion, chopped |
| 1 1/2 cups half-and-half or light cream |
| 1 cup water |
| 1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable) |
| 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese |
| 4 tbsp. butter |
| 5 tbsp. flour |
| 1/2 tsp. garlic powder |
|
| Directions: |
| In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour. Mix well and then add the liquids. Increase the heat to medium. Allow to cook for a few minutes, stirring often
to prevent sticking, until it begins to thicken. |
| Add the broccoli, onion and garlic powder. Allow to cook for an additional 15 minutes. Add the cheese and cook for another 5 minutes. |
| You can garnish with additional grated cheese or croutons if you desire. |
