Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp salted butter
- ½ cup diced onion
- 1 pound chopped broccoli 8 cups packed
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups 2% milk or whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese cut into cubes
- ¼ tsp black pepper or more to taste
- ¼ tsp salt or more to taste
Instructions
- Wash and chop broccoli. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
- Melt butter in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about a minute. Stir in the chopped broccoli and saute for 3-4 minutes, just until the broccoli turns bright green.
- Add the flour and garlic, cook and stir for at least a minute, until the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Add the broth, milk, and cream. Cook and stir with a flat edged spoon or spatula until bubbly.
- Add the cubed Velveeta, pepper, and salt. Turn the heat to low heat and cook until the cheese melts, stirring often.
- Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
Notes
- We like our soup with a lot of broccoli, but you can use less if you prefer.
- You can also add more cheese if you like a really rich and cheesy soup.
