After a full day of work, I like to make a supper that is easy and quick. This soup recipes is satisfying, nutritious and also very affordable.—Joyce McDowell, West Union, Ohio. Ingredients:
3 cups or 2 cans (14 ounces each) chicken broth |
1 large bunch broccoli (about 5 cups), chopped |
1-1/2 cups chopped onion |
3 bay leaves |
6 tablespoons butter |
7 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 cups milk |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add broccoli, onion and bay leaves. Reduce heat and simmer until broccoli is tender; remove bay leaves. Meanwhile, in another saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour to make a smooth paste. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat until mixture is hot and thickened, stirring occasionally. Add 1 cup of broccoli stock to milk mixture; stir until well blended. Gradually add remaining broccoli stock to milk mixture. Heat and stir until well-blended. Season with salt and pepper.
