Broccoli Cheese Soup!
So, I have made this recipe several times and it is always delicious.
Daddio helped me with this batch and "whatever" it was way better.
Sometimes he makes me so mad!
Get some broccoli. Cut it up and steam until tender.
Saute chopped onions in butter.
Mmmmm....butter.
Cook until tender...mmm...tender onions.
Add flour to butter and whisk until cooked, then add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
Add shredded sharp cheddar.
Our favorite cheese is Mammoth cheese that comes off those giant
cheese wheels, like at Whole Foods Market.
Don't forget the Velveeta. It really smooths out the soup.
Just a few chunks.
Stir until melted.
Add cooked, chopped broccoli.
Oh, man, it is soooo good!
Dish it up!
