Cream of Brocc

Tonight for dinner:

Cream of Broccoli Soup, made from scratch 4.6.11

This recipe was part of a book that was assembled for me from recipes shared by friends and family and given to me for a bridal shower gift (seven years ago!!).  Thank you, Pennie Anderson.

Cream of Broccoli Soup
Ingredients:
2 - 10oz packages frozen chopped broccoli
1/2 cup dried onion (Could use a little less)
1/2 cup butter (I decreased this to 5 Tbsp. and it was fine)
1/2 cup flour
3 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheese
1 cup broth
Salt & Pepper
Cook broccoli and onions in two cups water.  In another pan, melt butter over low heat, stir in flour and cook for one minute.  Add milk and warm to boiling, stirring constantly.  Continue to cook until smooth and thick.  Stir in cheese.  Add broth, and broccoli and onion with water, to the cream mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.   Heat through and and serve.
