Steps:
- Melt the butter in a pot or large saucepan, over medium heat.
- Add onion and pimentos, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Sprinkle the konjac/glucommanan powder over the mixture, stirring constantly, and cook until the onion just starts to brown.
- Pour in the stock and cream, and stir well.
- Toss in the broccoli, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook at a simmer for ten minutes, or until broccoli is tender.
- Add seasonings and stir well, then use an immersion blender to crush and cream some of the broccoli into the soup. If you don't have an immersion blender, that's OK! Pulse about half the soup through a food processor or blender several times to blend in some of the broccoli. You want the soup to be creamy, but still have a goodly amount of broccoli pieces chunked into the mixture, so it doesn't need to be completely smooth.
- Add cheddar cheese to the pot, and stir until it's melted into the soup.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

"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."

THICK AND CREAMY BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
This recipe came from my husbands Uncle Robbie, who is a great Cook. We were visiting him in Memphis on a cold and snowy day gathering groceries for the next few days. I mentioned how great a bowl of TGI Fridays broccoli cheese soup would be. The next thing I know we gathered the ingredients and were savoring this soup. I am so glad we did not go to the restaurant!!

Steps:
- Steam Broccoli by either putting in Microwave safe dish with lid and a small amount of water, or on stove in a covered sauce pan and small amount of water.
- Cook just until soft.
- Oil skillet 1/8" in bottom.
- Heat, then add 3 TBS Butter.
- Add 2 Tbs Flour, chopped Green onion bottoms and ground Pepper.
- Cook until Yellow in color, just enough so the flour is not raw.
- Add 2 Cans of Chicken Broth.
- Stir quickly, using whisk if you have one.
- Add Steamed Broccoli and any pan liquids.
- Add Green Onion tops, and Simmer 15-20 minutes on Med heat.
- This will slightly reduce liquid and impart flavors. The broccoli breaks apart and "makes" the soup. If you would like whole pieces of broccoli, keep some out to add at the end. This way they will not overcook.
- Reduce heat.
- Add Colby and American Cheeses.
- Cook on low 1 minute.
- Add 1 Cup Half and Half slowly, so it will not clump.
- Here you must watch temperature, so keep it on low.
- Cook 10 minutes.
- Add Cornstarch to water and stir.
- Pour in 1/2 of cornstarch mixture and stir.
- Then pour in 2nd half of mixture and stir.
- Turn heat off and stir until thick.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for fresh, bright green broccoli and sharp cheddar cheese.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: You want it to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Cook it for just a few minutes, until it's bright green and tender.
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese: This is the key ingredient in this soup, so don't skimp. Look for a sharp cheddar cheese that melts well.
- Make sure the soup is thick and creamy: This soup should be thick and creamy, not watery. If it's too thin, add more cheese or cornstarch until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Serve the soup hot: This soup is best served hot, so reheat it if necessary before serving.
