    Source of Recipe


    Joanne

    List of Ingredients




    4 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
    1 medium onion, chopped
    3 cups chopped broccoli
    1 1/2 cups water or one can of chicken broth
    1 Tablespoon bouillon mix for chicken broth (I like
    Knorr-Suisse brand)
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1/4 teaspoon guar gum
    3 cups half-and-half or heavy cream

    Recipe



    Cook bacon in heavy saucepan until browned. After it is
    cooled, use a fork to crumble it up. Add onion and cook over
    medium heat until tender. Add broccoli, water (or broth),
    bouillon mix and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover
    and simmer 5-7 minutes or until broccoli is tender. Stir in
    cream and reduce heat. Stir in guar gum, sprinkling it over
    the liquid and stirring it in as you sprinkle, until it
    reaches the correct thickness (only slightly thickened)
    Stirring constantly, bring mixture to almost a boil and
    serve. 4-6 servings
