Broccoli & Cheese Soup
A creamy soup made with broccoli, carrots, and plenty of cheese! It is simple and delicious, make it extra special and serve it in a bread bowl. It is one of my favorites to make on a rainy day, to warm up everyone's bellies.
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
1 medium onion, diced small
2 cups matchstick cut carrots
2 heads of broccoli, just the florets cut off (800 g frozen )
4 cups chicken stock
4 cups milk (skim is what I used)
4 cups cheddar cheese ( or any cheese you like )
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
salt and fresh cracked pepper (go a little heavy on the pepper)
1. Add carrots and broccoli to a saucepan. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat until vegetables are very tender, about 15 – 20 minutes.
2. In a large soup pot, add butter and onion. Add salt and pepper. Saute over low heat until onions are tender. Add flour and cook for 2 -3 minutes. Add milk and whisk constantly until mixture starts to come to a boil. Then add chicken stock and vegetables. Add nutmeg. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 10 – 15 minutes. Then remove from heat. Stir in cheese until melted. Don’t bring to a boil again because it may separate.
