I am always looking for quick, good meals to make. This is one of the few cheesy soups that did not use Velveeta. Now, don't get me wrong, I like my fake cheese as well as anyone, but I am making a more conscious effort to use natural ingredients. The kids loved it too. Ate broccoli without complaining!
Broccoli Cheese Soup from www. mykitchencafe.blogspot.com
adapted very slightly from Liz K.
1 can chicken broth
1 small onion, diced
1/3 c. flour
1/4 c. butter
Pepper to taste
2 c. milk (I used skim with great results)
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese (the sharper the better for flavor
1/2 c. shredded swiss cheese
steamed chopped broccoli (the amount of broccoli really boils down to preference)
Simmer chicken broth and chopped onion for 15-20 minutes in a covered small saucepan, until onions are soft. Heat milk in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
In a separate medium-sized stockpot, melt butter then add flour and pepper. Cook together for a couple of minutes, then whisk in warmed milk. Stir and heat together on medium-high heat until soup starts to thicken. Next add chicken broth and continue to stir until well blended. Add cheeses and steamed broccoli.
Serve immediately.
Extra tasty add-ins for this are potatoes and ham. Yummy.

very yummy! i even added some shredded carrots :)
It's really good and pretty forgiving for adding other veggies. I am planning on cooking celery with the onions next time.
Glad you liked it!
