"When my husband and I visit fresh-food stands, we often come home with more vegetables than we can eat," Marge Hill shares from Glenside, Pennsylvania. "I lightened up this tarragon-flavored soup to use up the broccoli we buy. I like it with crusty bread, a salad or a sandwich."

CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP
This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains very little actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Steps:
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook the onions in the margarine until soft.
- Stir in the flour and cook (but do not brown) for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Whisk in the milk, reduce heat and stir occasionally.
- Meanwhile, chop the broccoli florets into small pieces, place in a small saucepan with the broth (or water) and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until tender (about 6-8 minutes).
- As the milk mixture thickens, stir in the slices of American cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- When the broccoli is tender, add it (including the cooking liquid) to the thickened cheese mixture. Stir well to combine and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or brown spots, as this indicates that it is past its prime.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your soup. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor, or a milder cheese like Monterey Jack for a more subtle flavor.
- Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for cream of broccoli cheese soup include croutons, shredded cheddar cheese, and bacon bits.
Conclusion:
Cream of broccoli cheese soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and fresh broccoli, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
