    List of Ingredients




    Cream of Broccoli and Cheddar Soup


    1 pound fresh broccoli (about 1 medium-sized head)
    14 ounces chicken broth
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 cups milk
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese

    Recipe




    Clean the broccoli, then chop the florets and thinly slice the stems.

    In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the broccoli and chicken broth; heat to a boil.

    Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 7 minutes or until the broccoli is fork-tender.

    Transfer, one third at a time, to a food processor or blender.

    Process until fairly smooth.

    In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; add the flour.

    Cook, stirring constantly, until bubbly.

    Add the milk and pepper; heat to a boil, stirring constantly.

    Reduce heat to medium and add the broccoli purée.

    Stir in the cheese; heat just until the cheese melts (do not boil), stirring constantly.

    Makes 4 cups.
