Cheesy Cream of Broccoli Soup

We have our favorite cheddar broccoli soup that we always eat, but I thought it was time to branch out. I am going to try and do homemade Velveeta next time. As I said last Thursday, I am not the biggest fan of Velveeta. This was a pretty fantastic soup.

What you need:

• 2 to 3 cups broccoli florets
• 9 cups water
• 5 to 6 Tbsp. bouillon
• 1 cube butter
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup flour
• 2 cups half-and-half
• Salt and pepper
• 2 cups cheddar cheese
• 16 oz. Velveeta

Directions:

Add broccoli, water, and bouillon to a large pot and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a skillet, melt butter and then add onion to saute for 5 minutes.
Add flour, stirring until smooth, and cook for 1 minute.
Slowly add half-and-half.

Salt and pepper to taste.
Add cheeses and heat until melted.

 

Add this mixture to the broccoli.
