Simple Broccoli & Cheese Soup

Make this simple and classic soup tonight!



This soup is so easy to make, it is perfect for a mid-week meal.


In a Dutch oven, melt 3 Tablespoons of butter.


Add in 3 Tablespoons of finely chopped red onion, and saute until the onions are tender.


Meanwhile pulse an entire head of broccoli in a food processor, minus the woody stem.


When the onions are tender, whisk in 2 Tablespoons of flour.


And then whisk in 2 cups Beef Broth


3 cups of Whole Milk


and 1 cup Half & Half


Add to it, about a teaspoon each of Salt & Pepper.


Bring this all to a gentle boil, stirring often. Add in the Broccoli.


Let the Broccoli cook for about 5 minutes, then add in 3 cups of cubed or shredded cheese. I used half sharp Cheddar and half white Cheddar, but you can use whatever cheeses you like best with Broccoli.


Stir and cook the soup until the cheeses are completely melted.


That's it!

Enjoy!
