I got this recipe years ago from a Ontario Milk Board Calendar...and over the years it has been slightly adapted to suit me. I have friends who won't let me visit without bringing this soup and a loaf of crusty bread! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
1 onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 cups chicken stock |
3 cups broccoli, chopped |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste) |
1 1/2 cups milk |
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated |
salt |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in large pan, add onion and cook until tender but not brown. Stir in flour and cook for 3 minutes.
2. Whisk in stock and broccoli and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until broccoli is tender.
3. Puree mixture, (I use a hand blender and like to leave a few chunks.) and return to heat. Add pepper,cayenne pepper, milk, and cheese. Add salt after cheese, tasting soup, since cheese can be salty. Heat through but do not let boil.
