    Cheddar-Broccoli Soup

    Source of Recipe


    From "The Good Home Cookbook" by Richard Perry

    List of Ingredients


    • 1 large head broccoli, trimmed and chopped
    • ¼ cup (½ stick) butter
    • 1 medium onion, diced
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • 3 cups chicken broth
    • 3 cups milk
    • 1 pound Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 4 cups)
    • Salt and pepper


    Instructions


    1. Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 3 minutes, until bright and tender but not mushy. Drain, plunge into cold water to stop the cooking, and drain again. Set aside.

    2. Melt the butter in a large soup pot or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour until well blended. Gradually add the broth and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Pour in the milk and heat just to a boil, stirring constantly.

    3. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese until melted. Stir in the broccoli. Return to very low heat and heat just until the broccoli is warmed, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.

      Serves 4 to 6
