2 bunches of broccoli-chop into big chunks
steam until tender-drain and set aside
(I have also used just a bag of frozen broccoli-florets)
3/4 C butter
3/4 C flour
5 C chicken broth (or 5c h20 and 5 bullion cubes)
1 C Milk
Combine these ingredients and stir until thick
Then add:
1 C Heavy whipping cream
2 C cheddar cheese grated in
Salt and Pepper to taste
Add Broccolli
Looking at this recipe it is easy to see why it tastes soo good (butter, whipping cream, cheese, etc) and you can see why I serve it when we have company-not the type of soup you make every day if you want to live to see age 40 like John just did!! :)
