Recipe
In a soup pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions
or leeks, celery, and broccoli. Cook stirring until tender, about
5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the top. Stir well to blend,
increase the heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly for 5
minutes. (Make sure not to burn the flour.) Gradually add stock
and milk, and stir until smooth .Cook until the vegetables are
tender, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a food processor and
puree until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and return to a
low simmer. Stir in the cheese in batches, blending well after
each addition. Be careful not to boil this soup. If the soup is
too hot the cheese will break down. Season with Dijon mustard,
salt and pepper, and Tabasco and/or Worcestershire to taste.
Garnish with grated cheddar cheese. Makes about 6 cups.
