Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Soup is so much better made from scratch isn't it? Soup is one of my favorite things to make in fall and winter because it warms you up, it's easy and there's always left overs. I cut this recipe in half and it serves about 4 people. 

Ingredients: 

2-3 broccoli florets 

1/2 diced onion

1/4 butter (1/2 a stick)

1/6 flour

2 cups almond milk or milk

1 cup half and half 

1 cup chicken broth 

2 cups cheddar cheese 

S&P to taste

Dash of garlic salt 

Dash of nutmeg (optional)

Melt butter in large pot

Sauté onion till golden brown. About 5 minutes

Whisk in flour and cook for another minute

Whisk in milk and half and half thoroughly 

Add broccoli and simmer for 20 minutes till broccoli is soft

Purée soup in blender

Transfer back to pot and add cheese and chicken broth

Sprinkle in seasonings and taste to see if you like it

Serve with a little extra cheese and pepper on top

Goes great with bread sticks or a crusty baguette for dipping. 

I hope you love it!
