This so easy and sooooo wonderful. It's quick and easy to prepare - and the entire family will love it. It's a great way to get the kids eating those veggies that they often snub their nose at. Just prepare some hot bread and it's a meal! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 large potato, cubed |
3 -4 green onions, chopped |
8 cups water |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
3 chicken bouillon cubes |
1 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces |
1 cup light cream |
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese |
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese |
1 cup sour cream |
Directions:
1. In large pot or Dutch Oven, melt butter over med. heat. Mix in flour, stirring constantly until a thick paste forms. Remove from pot, and set aside.
2. In same pot, combine water, bouillon cubes, chicken, broccoli, potato, green onions, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 45 minutes.
3. Stir in flour mixture a little bit at a time until soup thickens. Simmer 5 minutes. Reduce heat and stir in cream and sour cream. Mix in cheese, one cup at a time and stir until melted.
4. * 2 heads fresh broccoli, cut into florets can be used instead of the frozen broccoli.
5. Note: You can easily omit the chicken – it won’t be missed. But add another potato in its place.
