This recipe originally came from an old Milk Calendar. I may have changed it a bit over the years. It's creamy without having to add extra fat and each person can add as much or as little of the shredded cheese as they like. Ingredients:
1 bunch broccoli |
4 medium boiling potatoes |
1 onion |
2 cups chicken broth |
1 cup milk |
1 teaspoon orange zest |
1 teaspoon thyme |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 1/3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. Peel and chop potatoes and onions. Remove broccoli stalks from florets; peel and chop; set florets aside.
2. Bring broth to boil in a large pot. Add potatoes, onion and broccoli stalks, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minute Add florets and simmer 5 min more.
3. Add orange rind, thyme, salt and pepper. Blend in batches with the milk. Reheat slightly before serving. Pour into bowls and sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese for each bowl.
