    Broccoli Soup - NOT w/ VELVEETA


    Source of Recipe


    Not sure - got it frommy mom


    Recipe Introduction


    This is a perfect cold weather meal, add some crusty bread and its done!


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 quart broccoli (I use frozen)
    • 2/3 cup butter or margarine
    • 1/2 cup flour
    • 3 cups warm milk (I use lowfat)
    • 2 cups hot chicken broth
    • 2 tsp. salt
    • 1/4 tsp. white pepper
    • 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
    • 1 clove garlic, crushed
    • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire
    • 1/4 tsp. Tabasco, or more to taste


    Instructions


    1. Wash, trim and dry broccoli, or open bag. In a saucepan, cook broccoli in the margarine until soft. Blend in the flour and simmer until smooth and bubbling, stirring occasionally. (This never happens for me...it's OK if its lumpy.)
    2. Add the next 8 ingredients (all the rest). Do NOT add the lemon juice to the milk. It will curdle. Add the lemon juice to the chicken stock.
    3. Stir constantly, until smooth and thick.
    4. Remove from burner and whirl ingredients in a blender. OR use your new immersion blender and do it in the pot!
    5. The soup may be frozen or refrigerated. I put mine in individual sized portions into the freezer and then I have lunch ready to go.


    Final Comments


    Serve with crusty bread and you have a filling, nutritious meal.
