Broccoli Cheese Soup

This is a great, very flavorful soup. Good for serving at luncheons or special gatherings with a quiche. To make this soup a little fancier, add 1 cup sliced mushrooms and 1 cup white wine with the onions.

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli
  • 4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 1 (1 pound) loaf processed cheese food, cubed
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • ⅔ cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup water

Directions:

  • Step 1:In a stockpot, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion in butter until softened. Stir in broccoli, and cover with chicken broth. Simmer until broccoli is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Step 2:Reduce heat, and stir in cheese cubes until melted. Mix in milk and garlic powder.
  • Step 3:In a small bowl, stir cornstarch into water until dissolved. Stir into soup; cook, stirring frequently, until thick.
