Quick and easy recipe that I love. I've played with this recipe some have listed any things outside of my main recipe in with the ingredients. Enjoy!

Provided by Deborah McIntyre

Categories     Cream Soups

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 c butter
1 onion, chopped
1 pkg frozen broccoli florets
1 broccoli crown, cut into florets
4 14.5 oz cans chicken broth
1 lb loaf velveeta, cubed
2 c heavy cream or half and half
1 Tbsp garlic powder
2/3 c cornstarch
1 c water
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 lb hoffmans super sharp cheddar, cubed (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a stockpot or dutch oven melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion in butter until soft. Stir in broccoli and cover with chicken broth. Simmer until broccoli is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • 2. Reduce heat and stir in cheese cubes until melted. Mix in the half and half and garlic powder.
  • 3. In a small bowl, stir cornstarch into water until dissolved, then stir into soup. Cook, stirring frequently, until thick. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the soup will taste. Look for fresh, crisp broccoli, sharp cheddar cheese, and creamy milk.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its flavor and nutrients.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. The type of cheddar cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Look for a sharp cheddar cheese that is well-aged.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes. You can also add different spices, such as garlic, onion, or paprika.
  • Serve the soup immediately. Broccoli cheese soup is best served hot and fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Broccoli cheese soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its creamy texture, sharp cheddar cheese flavor, and tender-crisp broccoli, it's no wonder why this soup is so popular. Whether you're serving it as a main course or a side dish, broccoli cheese soup is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this broccoli cheese soup recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
