my family just loves this soup. i can't ever make enough of it


? c butter
1 onion diced
2tsp garlic
? tsp pepper
16 oz frozen chopped broccoli
1 qt. chix broth
? c flour
1 ? c milk
8 oz cheddar cheese*or more if you like*

Melt butter cook the onion. Add garlic and pepper. Cook 1 minute. Add broccoli and broth. Cook til broccoli is tender. Whisk flour into milk until dissolved. Stir into soup until thickened. Stir in cheese.


*Notes* I substitute garlic powder for regular if i don't have any on hand. and i cook the broccoli separately to speed things up. bouillon cubes work too.

I would take a package of frozen broccoli and steam it or boil and drain it. Then place in blender or food processor with some chicken or vegetable broth. Place in a pot and bring to boil, place shredded cheese to your liking and stir until melted. Salt and pepper. Fast and simple.
