Broccoli Cheese Soup

Broccoli Cheese soup is a winter staple at our house. On those chill-you-to-the-bone cold days, I make broccoli cheese soup. Paired with a homemade loaf of bread, it is cold weather comfort food perfection. This homemade broccoli cheese soup recipe is very easy to whip up–even if you’ve never made homemade soup before!

Homemade Broccoli Cheese Soup

Ingredients:

• One small onion chopped finely
• One stick of butter
• 1/2 cup Flour
• 2 cups Milk (can substitute with heavy creamy)
• 2- 32 oz cartons of Chicken Stock (or Homemade Chicken Stock if you have it)
• 2 Bags of Frozen Broccoli or Fresh Broccoli chopped
• 1/2 to 1 pound of Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Directions:

On medium heat, saute chopped onion in 1 stick of butter until onion is clear.

Add 1/2 cup flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until golden brown.

Slowly add 2 cups of milk and whisk well. Once the lumps are dissolved in the milk, add 2 containers of chicken stock. Simmer about 20 minutes.

Add 2 bags of frozen broccoli or fresh chopped broccoli if you prefer. Simmer up to 20 minutes or until broccoli is soft.

If you need to thicken your soup, add a tablespoon of cornstarch and water in a bowl. Mix well and add it to the soup mixture. Boil for 1 minute.

Add 1/2 to 1 pound of shredded cheese, stirring until melted.

Serve.
