Who doesn't love a good bowl of homemade soup in the winter?? I for one, just LOVE them!!! We are about to have a winter storm roll in tonight, which set the stage perfectly for a delicious, warming bowl of soup :) If you happen to have any bread bowls to enjoy this soup with, even better!!! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 can chicken broth (about 1 3/4 cups of broth)
1 small onion, diced
1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup butter
Pepper to taste
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, preferably sharp or extra sharp
1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese
2 1/2 to 3 cups chopped, lightly steamed broccoli
Directions:
1. Simmer chicken broth and chopped onion for 15-20 minutes in a covered small saucepan, until onions are soft.
2. Heat milk in microwave for 1-2 minutes.
3. In a separate, medium-sized pot, melt butter then add flour and pepper. Cook together for a couple of minutes, then whisk in warmed milk. Stir and heat together on medium-high heat until soup starts to thicken.
4. Next add chicken broth and continue to stir until well blended. Add cheeses and steamed broccoli.
