My little girl calls my broccoli cheese soup broccoli trees soup. I've been working on nailing this down, and after a few tries finally hit upon the mix that my family really enjoys. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth or 1 (16 ounce) can vegetable broth |
1 cup fresh broccoli, chopped (mostly trees ) |
1/2 cup heavy cream or 1/2 cup whole milk |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 tablespoons flour |
1/4 cup cold water |
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (or use the amount to your taste) |
Directions:
1. Pour broth and chopped broccoli into a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until boiling.
2. Add heavy cream (fewer carbs and richer flavor). Return to boil, then simmer 5-10 minutes.
3. Add butter and stir to melt.
4. Mix flour with 1/4 cup cold water and mix in to soup.
5. Stir constantly for about 1 minute.
6. Add cheddar cheese (I used mild, and finely shredded so it would melt quickly.).
7. Serve hot and enjoy!
