Recipe Introduction
I adapted this recipe from one I found on the net. A good basic broccoli cheese soup.
List of Ingredients
1/2 Cup chopped onion
1/4 Cup butter
1/4 Cup all-purpose flour -- slightly heaping
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper -- (1/4 to 1/2 t.)
1 1/2 Cups chicken broth -- (1 1/2 to 2 c.)
3 Cups milk
4 Cups fresh broccoli florets -- chopped
1 1/2 Cups shredded cheddar cheese (preferably freshly grated sharp)
pinch of ground chipotle powder or cayenne -- optionalRecipe
In a saucepan, saute the onion in butter until tender.
Meanwhile cook broccoli in simmering chicken broth a few minutes until broccoli turns bright green and is partially cooked.
Stir flour, salt, and pepper into the onion/butter mixture; cook and stir 1-2 minutes until smooth and bubbly.
Add broth/broccoli mixture and milk all at once; cook and stir until the mixture boils and thickens.
Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.
