Categories     Cheese

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups water
2 pounds of chicken tenders cut into chunks.
1 and 1/2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
3 teaspoons of chicken bouillon
2 bunches of broccoli
PART 2****
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup flour
1 cup light cream
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • In a 5 quart pot combine all ingredients minus part 2 ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium low heat and simmer for 45 minutes or until broccoli is tender. In a seperate pan melt the margarine and add the flour until a thick paste forms.

Reduce heat and add the light cream, shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well and serve when the cheese is completely melted.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets are the best choice for this soup. They will give the soup a vibrant green color and a crisp texture.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked just until tender-crisp. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use Gruyère, Swiss, or Parmesan cheese.
  • Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Serve the soup with crusty bread or crackers: Crusty bread or crackers are the perfect accompaniment to this soup. They will help to soak up the broth and add a bit of texture.

Conclusion:

This cheese and broccoli chicken soup is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
