It is never too warm to have a nice piping hot bowl of soup in the Springtime, or what should be Spring. The snow is swirling around right now outside of my kitchen window and it's only a day away from the First Day of Spring! :( Why???? I'm so ready for Spring!!!!!
BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
INGREDIENTS:
1 Whole Onion; diced
1 Stick Butter
1/3 C. Flour
4 C. Milk
2 C. Half & Half
4 Heads of Broccoli cut into Florets
1 pinch Nutmeg
3 C. Grated Cheese (Mild Cheddar, Sharp Cheddar, Jack, etc)
Dash of Salt
Dash of Pepper
Chicken Broth for thinning; if needed
Melt Butter over medium heat, then add the Onions. Cook Onions for 3-4 minutes, then sprinkle the Flour over the top. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute or so, then pour in the Milk and Half & Half. Add Nutmeg, then add Broccoli, a Small dash of Salt and Plenty of Pepper. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the Broccoli is tender. Stir in Cheese and allow to melt. Taste seasonings and adjust. Serve.
This is so yummy with some flaky, crusty bread!
